See the [Dev Environment Setup](https://docs.metasploit.com/docs/development/get-started/setting-up-a-metasploit-development-environment.html) if you'd like to deal with dependencies on your own. Using Metasploit -- Metasploit can do all sorts of things. The first thing you'll want to do is start `msfconsole`, but after that, you'll probably be best served by reading the basics of [using Metasploit](https://docs.metasploit.com/docs/using-metasploit/basics/using-metasploit.html) or [Metasploit Unleashed][unleashed]. Contributing -- See the [Dev Environment Setup][devenv] guide on GitHub, which will walk you through the whole process from installing all the dependencies, to cloning the repository, and finally to submitting a pull request. For slightly more information, see [Contributing](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
