Installation

Burp-UI is written in Python with the Flask micro-framework. The easiest way to install Burp-UI is to use pip.

pip install burp-ui

You can setup various parameters in the burpui.cfg file. This file can be specified with the -c flag or should be present in /etc/burp/burpui.cfg. By default Burp-UI ships with a sample file located in $INSTALLDIR/share/burpui/etc/burpui.sample.cfg. ($INSTALLDIR defaults to /usr/local when using pip outside a virtualenv)

Note

It is advised to copy the sample configuration in /etc/burp/burpui.cfg and to edit this file so that it is not overwritten on every upgrade.

Then you can run burp-ui: burp-ui

By default, burp-ui listens on localhost on port 5000.

You can then point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:5000/

Upgrade

In order to upgrade Burp-UI to the latest stable version, you can run the following command:

pip install --upgrade burp-ui

Note

If you encounter any issue after upgrading to the latest stable release, make sure you read the upgrading page.
