# Building the PIN tool

Before using the PIN tracer the PIN tool module (distributed only in source code\
form) must be built as the Intel PIN license disallows redistributing PIN tools\
in binary form.

Please refer to the [Debugging Linux/Windows Applications with PIN Tracer](https://docs.hex-rays.com/9.1/user-guide/debugger/debugger-tutorials/debugger_pin) tutorial to learn how to build our PIN tool.
