 ## Installation

 We recommend the use of Manticore in a virtual environment, though this is optional.

 This installs the Manticore CLI tool `manticore` and the Python API.
 
 Then, install the Z3 Theorem Prover. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/releases/latest) for your platform and place the `z3` binary in your `$PATH`.

-  Capstone may not install correctly. If you get this error message,
