gdb no longer works

[irodionzaytsev]

After installing peda it has way too many side effects. For example IDE debuggers show only hex. Peda should not affect gdb and be installed separately by default. Change installation instructions.

Hello @irodionzaytsev , you can have peda usable without having your gdb installation affected (programs using gdb will not have peda loaded by default), personally, I have these lines in my ~/.bashrc script:

alias peda="gdb -iex 'source /opt/peda/peda.py' --nh -q"
alias gef="gdb -iex 'source /opt/gef/gef.py' --nh -q"
alias pwndbg="gdb -iex 'source /opt/pwndbg/gdbinit.py' --nh -q"

and I just run : peda ./my_program, or gef ./my_program when I want to use the given extension.
(Of course, each of their repos is cloned in /opt/ in my case)
