it's an old issue...

[CS13337]

current blackarch installs compile / fail if your python is 3.8 and not python3.7

running "sudo blackman -a" or "sudo blackman -g blackarch-forensics" produced oodles of the same error message in regards to line 178 from /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages file=sys.stderr

infact for each and every package it burped out that same error

yup my python was to new for the install...

in my case this was in my .bashrc file:

export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:"/usr/lib/python3.8/:/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/"

me being simple, comment out the line, duplicated the line as follows:

export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:"/usr/lib/python3.7/:/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/"

after opening new terminal and running the command to install again, all was well in the boxen verse.

as i'm new here and only complaining cuz i can, i though i would help out instead.

solution insert one line somewhere near the top of the install guide / website mentioning the python version requirement

@CS13337 Rather than updating the doc, I think it would be better to update the tool https://github.com/BlackArch/blackman/issues/19

[CS13337]

you know that's a great idea.

thank you

But, I don't see python in Blackman source code. Which one is causing the problem?

@noraj I think it's because of some tools in group that not yet compatible with python 3.8
