Demo installing the improved Autopsy GUI on Debian Linux.

All thanks goes to the autopsy team for writing great software and instructions: https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/...

TLDR, the commands to install, once you've downloaded the files from: https://www.autopsy.com/download/

Install dependencies
$ wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sle..."
$ chmod +x install_prereqs_ubuntu.sh
EDIT the file if needed, then
./install_prereqs_ubuntu.sh

Install the (newest) Sleuth kit
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install ./sleuthkit-java_4.12.1-1_amd64.deb

Install Autopsy, your java path and file names may be different
$ wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sle..."
$ chmod +x install_application.sh
$ ./install_application.sh -z autopsy-4.21.0.zip -i ~/autopsy -j /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.17.0-openjdk-amd64

Recommended for first run:

$ ./bin/autopsy --nosplash
