Plugins

Cutter supports writing plugins in both C++ and Python.If you are unsure of which language to choose, starting with Python is strongly suggested asit provides a faster and simpler workflow.

If you plan to implement support for a new file format or architecture, Cutter plugins are not the correct approach.Instead, you will want to implement a radare2 plugin, which is documented here.

Loading and Overview

Plugins are loaded from an OS-dependent user-level directory.To get the location of this directory and a list of currently loaded plugins, navigate to Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins.The plugins directory contains two subdirectories, native and python for C++ and Python plugins respectively,which will be created automatically by Cutter.

Note

The support for Python plugins is only available if Cutter was built with the options CUTTER_ENABLE_PYTHONand CUTTER_ENABLE_PYTHON_BINDINGS enabled.This is the case for all official builds from GitHub Releases starting with version 1.8.0.
