Version: 0.2.0

Getting started

This guide will walk you through the steps to install and set up the Misti static analyzer.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, ensure you have the following software installed on your system:

Installation​

Misti is distributed via npm and should be added to your Tact project in the same way as Tact itself:

yarn add @nowarp/misti

Using Development Version​

The latest development version may be unstable, yet it includes all the recently added detectors and therefore can provide a more comprehensive analysis.

To install the latest development version you should:

  1. Clone Misti: git clone https://github.com/nowarp/misti
  2. Build it: cd misti && yarn install && yarn build
  3. Use it in your Tact project: cd /path/to/tact/project && yarn add file:/path/to/misti

Running the analysis​

Run Misti by specifying a Tact project configuration:

npx misti test/projects/simple/tactConfig.json

This will highlight any warnings the analyzer found.

You can also add a script to your package.json to simplify running the linting process:

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "npx misti test/projects/simple/tactConfig.json"
  }
}

Troubleshooting​

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, feel free to create an issue or ask in the Misti Telegram group.
