Installation

There are multiple ways to install pdtm. Ensure you have Go 1.24.3 or later if building from source.

Method 1: Go Install (Recommended)

If you have Go installed and configured, you can install the latest version directly:

go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/pdtm/cmd/pdtm@latest

Method 2: Binary Download

You can download the pre-built binaries from the Releases Page.

1. Download the archive for your operating system and architecture.
2. Extract the archive.
3. Move the pdtm binary to a directory in your $PATH.

Method 3: Docker

You can run pdtm using Docker. This is useful for isolated environments.

# Build the image
docker build -t pdtm .

# Run the container
docker run --rm -it pdtm -h

Post-Installation Notes

By default, pdtm downloads tools to $HOME/.pdtm/go/bin. To make these tools accessible globally, you will need to add this path to your system's $PATH variable.

pdtm can handle this for you automatically using the -ip or -install-path flag during usage.
