Install

Paytm Forensics runs from source and needs Python 3.10 or newer.

$ git clone https://github.com/Mihir-Choudhary/Paytm-Forensics.git$ cd Paytm-Forensics$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Core parsing and carving use only the standard library. The extras:

Package	Used for	Required?
PySide6	GUI	For the GUI
PySide6-Addons	Interactive map and PDF export (QtWebEngine)	Recommended
Jinja2	HTML report	Yes
weasyprint	HTML to PDF, as an alternative to QtWebEngine	Optional
protobuf	Decoding analytics blobs	Optional
plyvel	WebView LevelDB on Linux and macOS	Optional
pytest	Test suite	Development only

Without PySide6-Addons, the map falls back to an offline scatter plot and says so.

Try it on the demo case

No extraction is needed: this builds a fabricated one (an invented subject, merchants, contacts, 60 transactions, chat and a movement history), parses it and opens the GUI.

$ python tools/make_demo_case.py /tmp/ptmf-demo$ python run_gui.py /tmp/ptmf-demo/case

Packaged build

$ pyinstaller paytmforensics.spec

This produces dist/PaytmForensics/PaytmForensics (.exe on Windows), with the decode tables and the map library bundled.
