Hi guys i,m having a few issues trying to install it to my ubuntu peppermint mini laptop. Below is the issues i am having -

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/rfcat", line 4, in
import('pkg_resources').run_script('rfcat==1.9.3', 'rfcat')
File "/home/eee/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3251, in

raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'future' distribution was not found and is required by rfcat

Any help would be appreciated thanks

i'm afraid i'm unfamiliar with Ubuntu Perppermint 10 Bubonic.

the problem appears to be with the "future" tools
have you pip installed the requirements.txt?

first you need python2 pip. if you don't, lookup a way to install it for your version of linux. it must be pip for python2, not python3.

next, type the following from within the rfcat directory:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Thanks for the reply, here is what i found -

root@eeepc /home/eee/rfcat # rfcat -r

Theres still an issue with pyside2, done exactly the same with my raspberry pi 3 b+ running the newest buster os and the older rasbian. This is frustrating as i cant use
my YS1.

hmmmm... i could potentially remove PySide2 from requirements.txt, which would allow it to install via pip...
the GUI is only for running the specan.

would that benefit you?

I think that's probably a good way to go, at least until PySide2 is ready to go for ARM, I spent way too long trying to get rfcat to install properly on my rpi because of this.
