Install from PyPI into a new virtual environment:

virtualenv --python=python3 /path/to/venv
/path/to/venv/bin/pip install peekabooav

Or use this repository:

git clone https://github.com/scVENUS/PeekabooAV.git
virtualenv --python=python3 /path/to/venv
/path/to/venv/bin/pip install .

This will pull in all required packages and install them into the virtualenv.

Take a look at peekaboo.conf.sample and ruleset.conf.sample.

Runs the unit tests

/path/to/venv/bin/python tests/test.py

Now, you can run PeekabooAV with

/path/to/venv/bin/peekaboo -c /path/to/your/peekaboo.conf

Note: If you put your PeekabooAV configuration file at /opt/peekaboo/etc/peekaboo.conf you can omit the -c option. Also, for detailed command line options run

peekaboo --help

Just install Peekaboo using pip like above but in editable/development mode:

/path/to/venv/bin/pip install -e .

Now you can run it as before but changes to the source code will take effect without reinstallation. See the development documentation for details.
