python error

Hi CIRCL team,

I was trying to install AIL-framework and found an python error during run "pip install -r pip_packages_requirement.txt" section : Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-5h5xZQ/ssdeep/

pyerror.txt

This error is due to a missing dependency: c/_cffi_backend.c:15:17: fatal error: ffi.h: No such file or directory

Assuming you're on Ubuntu. can you try to run apt-get install libffi-dev

And then re-run pip install -r pip_packages_requirement.txt

If it solves the problem, do not hesitate to do a PR (or I do it myself if you prefer)

thanks for your attention No, the problem is not there. Problem occurs after running "ssdeep" :

Collectingssdeep (from -r pip_packages_requirement.txt (line 21)) Using cached ssdeep-3.1.1.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: no previously-included directories found matching 'documentation/_build' zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...

Unfortunately, I do not know the way to be solved.

Yes, the error I mentioned in my last message is caused by trying to install ssdeep without libffi-dev installed:
