readline installation error

[slaishxd]

I'm trying to install it on windows 8.1 Pro and it displays this error text.

I actually don't understand this but I dont think it's a normal error. I ignored it and carried on with the installation process, tried to run the osint anyways but when I try to run the main.py script, it returns me this other error
.
I don't really know what to do, so I'm expecting someone to tell me what should I do.
Thanks a lot.

I'm trying this tool on my raspberry 4 with kali linux and getting the same error
P.S. But now I've tried it and it works well

I have the same issue on a kali VM

[kirch-47]

It works on google cloudshell though

Try to install it via apt install libreadline-dev

[slaishxd]

How do I do that on Windows?

@Datalux I have a similar readline compilation error, on the PyPI page, it says readline is deprecated... and to use gnureadline instead. Altho I am not exactly familiar with how readline for python works, I believe it's cus am on mac since mac doesn't ship with GNU's readline?? Also according to gnureadline, Python from homebrew ships with "real readline" which is what I am using, so ig I will try with what I have...

in ubuntu or debian i fixed installing this
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

I am not sure if this will work or not, but it should, just use the pip3 install -r requirements.txt if this does not work try it with sudo (i had to do it with sudo) but i am on nethunter, so just saying that it will probably not be the same with you,but i hope it works. The difference here being using pip3 instead of pip.
OR
It might just be a problem of compatibility like it says in the error message.
BUT
I am not an expert nor know much about anything regarding coding/hacking/python, so, do this on your own responsibility.

@replituser Eh, ideally not cus otherwise it might create the files as root, and then u run into ownership/permission issues (In some cases it doesn't matter bc your default user is root). Altho I am going to admit, the maintainers of the project are pointing to python (python2.7) when giving out instructions and when using shebangs but instead should be pointing to python3 (>=python3.7)

Hi guys, seems that @robigan fixed this in #94.
Please test the development version.

How do I do that on Windows?

Please try to use this fix: #100

installing python3.9-dev resolved the issue for me (on Ubuntu 20)
sudo apt install python3.9-dev

I tried it on 2 machines that the installation failed, 1 had readline-6.2.4.1 in the requirements file and the other gnureadline-8.0.0

You should run pip3 install -r requirements.txt

[ahmadfaizan965]

pip3 install -r requirements.txt worked properly. Thanks

BTW what does -r do ??

Install packages from the given requirements file.
