Start with one command

npx rea-agents setup

Choose your agent, review the planned changes, and approve setup. Native binary analysis can use an existing Hopper, Ghidra, or IDA installation; static JavaScript analysis needs no native analysis engine.

For a first result from an extracted JavaScript application or ASAR:

npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze-javascript-application /absolute/path/to/app --json

See installation and setup for requirements and configuration.

For runtime instrumentation, see the Frida guide.

For development, use testing, client verification, tool design, admission limits and recovery, and releasing. Reconstruction readiness describes a development conformance verifier. The 6.2 migration records that release's compatibility changes; the roadmap tracks future work.
