Description

Getting Error while invoking ida_capa_explorer.py using IDApro.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Load a file into IDA
2. then Alt+F7
3. Navigate to ida_capa_explorer.py and open it

Expected behavior:

It should open the capa explorer with the results.

Actual behavior:

the explorer is opening without the results.

Versions

Latest capa and python 2.7 on IDA Pro 7.0

Additional Information

I know the capa is meant to be working on 7.4 or 7.5 but looking at the error it seems capa can’t locate rules path.

This is the following error thrown by IDA Pro:

I am gonna try that import script.

And I think downloading capa rules should also be documented under https://github.com/fireeye/capa/blob/master/doc/installation.md#method-2-using-capa-as-a-python-library

Oh, I see this is already in discussion, +1 from me!
