install error

I am on latest version of Kali and did pip install keylogger. Then I get this error:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Try installing from the linux directory on this repo - pip is a bit broken for this repo. Or create a changes.md file.

I tried again but still no successful install. When I run the command I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "keylogger.py", line 5, in from keylogger import pyxhook File "/opt/Keylogger/linux/keylogger/keylogger.py", line 5, in from keylogger import pyxhook ImportError: cannot import name pyxhook

[GiacomoLaw]

Try running pip install pyxhook, and then install. Hope this works :D

[truesamurai]

pyxhook is already installed, still getting this error.

[ChillerDragon]

@sh1va73 is pyxhook installed in the python version you used to run the logger? I confused python2 and python3 dependencys when installing it. I recommend going with python3 nowerdays:

python3 -m pip install pyxhook
python3 keylogger.py

[truesamurai]

Thanks for the suggestion but it did not work. I'm giving up on this one as I never got it installed properly.

[GiacomoLaw]

This isn't an issue with the keylogger, but with your setup. Apologies that you couldn't get it working.

Same here

 pip install keylogger

@sh1va73 did you find any solution to this?

[GiacomoLaw]

I haven't updated the pip repo in ages, I would just suggest installing it from here, not via pip.
