Installing optional libraries

To get rid of the info notifications and to be able to use all of the nice features the following libraries need to be installed: gnuplot-py, pycrypto and PyX. And here’s how to do that.

Download and install the latest source of ‘gnuplot-py’ (1.8 during writing):

1 2 3

$ tar xfz gnuplot-py-1.8.tar $ cd gnuplot-py-1.8 $ sudo python setup.py install

for python 3.x  ->  https://github.com/oblalex/gnuplot.py-py3k

Download and install the latest source of ‘pycrypto’ (2.6.1 during writing):

1 2 3 4

$ wget http://ftp.dlitz.net/pub/dlitz/crypto/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz $ tar xfz pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz $ cd pycrypto-2.6.1 $ sudo python setup.py install

Download and install the latest source of ‘PyX’ (0.12.1 during writing):

1 2 3

$ tar xfz PyX-0.12.1.tar.gz $ cd PyX-0.12.1 $ sudo python setup.py install

All the necessities should be installed now and Scapy should run without any major errors or warnings (besides the warning about IPv6 route, but that’s because I haven’t set IPv6 on this machine). Enjoy your new toy.
