angr is a platform-agnostic binary analysis framework developed by the Computer Security Lab at UC Santa Barbara and their associated CTF team, Shellphish.

angr is a suite of python libraries that let you load a binary and do a lot of cool things to it:

• Disassembly and intermediate-representation lifting
• Program instrumentation
• Symbolic execution
• Control-flow analysis
• Data-dependency analysis
• Value-set analysis (VSA)

The most common angr operation is loading a binary: p = angr.Project('/bin/bash') If you do this in IPython, you can use tab-autocomplete to browse the top-level-accessable methods and their docstrings.

The short version of "how to install angr" is mkvirtualenv angr && pip install angr.
