Fail to install

[Brian Smith]

Tried to install roguehostpad from Github on a fresh Kali which prompted for additional dependencies. After installing those python setup.py install finally succeeds. However roguehostapd is still not installed system wide. @anakin1028 any idea why it is not working?

Here is the output of installation in case it helps.

@blackHatMonkey can you run the run.py successfully? Currently roguehostapd is used as library for wifiphisher, so I don't copy the execution file to the /bin directory during setup.py.

pip install roguehostapd should also be ok.

I originally installed it using pip but wifiphisher complained about it not being installed.

root@kali:~/roguehostapd# pip2 install roguehostapd
Requirement already satisfied: roguehostapd in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

In which directory should I run run.py?

[Anakin]

You can cd to the roguehostapd folder and run run.py at this folder~

If you have install roguehostapd once , looks like it will remember in the cache. You can try pip install roguehostapd --no-cache-dir

@anakin1028 Here is the output of run.py:

root@kali:~/roguehostapd/roguehostapd# ./run.py

This is a brand new install so this should not apply.

Looks like the shared library is missing, but currently I got no idea why the build process fail in your environment... I will try to reproduce on other machines.
