PROXMARK3 Abridged setup

Amal has done a bang-up and thorough job of a walk-through for setting up a Proxmark from scratch.
His thread explains ALL the what where and whys, and is worth a read if you want to understand what you are doing, If that sounds like what you want, read the following guide

Here

Getting started with the proxmark3 easy

HOWEVER…If you just want to get up and running, this might be the guide for you

Open for Guide

I thought I would throw together a “quick guide” using his steps.
If you have any issues, go back through his guide ( Sometimes short cuts lead to long cuts )
I wrote this as I did a clean build and it worked, so if you do the same, you SHOULD get the same results

2 Parts - Environment Set Up - Proxmark Set Up

**Environment SetUp**

  • Get the latest environment from here (download the ProxSpace.7z file.)
    Getting started with the proxmark3 easy

  • Must use 7zip to extract ( Extract to root level folder C:\ProxSpace for example )
    Download

  • Open and run runme64.bat

  • Wait a while
    If you get a green
    pm3 ~$
    You are good to go for the next step

  • copy this
    git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3.git

  • right-click - it should automatically paste for you Hit Enter

  • Wait a while
    If you get a green
    pm3 ~$
    You are good to go for the next step

  • We now change directory with the command
    cd proxmark3

  • You should now have this new line
    pm3 ~/proxmark3$

  • Blah blah blah omission blah reasons blah don’t worry why blah next step…

  • If you are using Proxmark3 RDV4 you can skip this step
    If you are using Proxmark3 Easy…Copy this
    notepad Makefile.platform

You will see something like this ( Thanks Amal )

File - Save - Close

  • Next big step and welcome back RDV4 owners, this is for you also
    make clean && make all
    wait a while
    When it finishes
**Proxmark3 SetUp**

Plug in your Proxmark3 :pm3_easy: or :pm3_rdv4: We are almost there…

Future Updates

( Thanks to @TheCyborgFirefighter and @Zwack ORIGINAL POST )
