import requests about rsactftool

[Sjord]

I am sorry to hear that you have such troubles getting this to run.

The requests module is an external module that handles HTTP requests. It can be installed like this:

pip install requests

When running that, it should finish with something like this:

Successfully installed certifi-2019.11.28 chardet-3.0.4 idna-2.9 requests-2.23.0 urllib3-1.25.8

If you run pip install like this, it will try to install the package system-wide in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages or something like that. If you want to install it just in the current directory for RsaCtfTool, it is a good idea to first create a virtual environment. A virtual environment is a little Python installation with its own packages. Create one like this:

python3 -m venv venv

This will create a directory "venv". You can enable it like this:

. venv/bin/activate

After enabling it, python refers to the Python in the virtual environment, and pip will install packages within the environment.

Instead of creating a virtual environment and using pip, there is also pipenv that combines both, although I don't have much experience with that.

If you are still struggling with getting this working, it would be helpful to give some more information: which OS are you using, what have you tried, did you get any error messages?

RsaCtfTool is not really a polished Python package. It may take some effort getting it to work, but not two hours, like you said.

requests is in requirement.txt.
Did you run pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt ?
