How do you get this to work?

[orgitnized]

I'm happy to be the guy in the room asking the dumb question: how do you get this software to work? I can't get mnet to work, nor can I get this to work. Do you have anything that might help people get started with installing it? Here's exactly what I did on my computer, which is running macOS High Sierra 10.13.5

brew install python3
cd /usr/local/bin
git clone https://github.com/MJL85/natlas.git
cd natlas
chmod +x natlas-cli.py

It all installs as expected - but when I run it with something like just a standard check to see that things are where they should be, I get the following output:

sudo python3 natlas-cli.py list
natlas v0.11-dev6
Michael Laforest <mjlaforest@gmail.com>
Python 3.6.5

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "natlas-cli.py", line 306, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "natlas-cli.py", line 76, in main
    modules = load_modules()
  File "natlas-cli.py", line 119, in load_modules
    for f in os.listdir(working_dir + '/modules'):
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/modules'

Running other commands produce similar output, even when using full paths:

sudo python3 natlas-cli.py diagram -c /usr/local/bin/natlas/natlas.conf -r 172.20.24.1 -o /usr/local/bin/natlas/network.pdf
natlas v0.11-dev6

  File "natlas-cli.py", line 119, in load_modules
    for f in os.listdir(working_dir + '/modules'):
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/modules'

I'm hoping that there's just a tweak or two I need to administer to get this working. Can you please offer any insight? I'd love to try this out - thank you in advance!

Hi

I change "for f in os.listdir(working_dir + '/modules'):" to "for f in os.listdir('/modules'):" and that made it work for me on Windows and Ubuntu

[orgitnized]

Thanks for the comment, fatman00 I made that change and saved it and tried again but the exact same error messages exist. There wasn't a change at all in the errors displayed.

[orgitnized]

So, does anyone have a howto guide for this? Tried with Ubuntu 18.04 as well with the same results, even after changing stuff. Figured I'd try it on a clean VM but still throws the same errors for me. I see similar stuff on reddit, though it references mnet, which looks to be the old version.

[fatman00]

Hi orgitnized

I gave you some wrong information. I change the line to: for f in os.listdir('./modules'):

And it is working on Ubuntu 18.04. But i think you have to install some dependencies. But the error messages are pretty useful.

[orgitnized]

Thanks - still can't get it to work. Get all sorts of errors, even with that.

I thought I'd be able to use the setup.py file as well, but it looks like it references the old project, as it called for mnetsuite, and not natlas.

Hi Its some time since i installed it so I cant rememeber exactly what I did, but you need to install pydot/graphviz with pip install/apt install/.exe(on windows) one of them, I cant remember. Would be awesome with a requirements file.

Let me know if you still cant get it to work and I will take a look at my bash history.

[orgitnized]

It's not a big deal - was hoping there would be better documentation on this but if it's this problematic to get it working I'll just skip it. I have pydot and graphviz installed already so who knows. I've tried this on Ubuntu 18 and Mac High Sierra.

[fatman00]

Maybe this will help: 430 git clone https://github.com/MJL85/natlas.git 431 cd natlas/ 432 ls 433 python setup.py install 434 pip install requirements 435 sudo apt install python-pip 436 pip install requirements 437 python natlas-cli.py 438 pip install pysnmp 439 python setup.py install 440 python natlas-cli.py 441 pip install pydot 442 python natlas-cli.py 443 apt install python3 444 python3 natlas-cli.py 445 python natlas-cli.py 446 python 447 python3 448 python3 natlas-cli.py 449 python natlas-cli.py 450 python3 natlas-cli.py 451 python 452 man pip 453 pip3 454 sudo apt install python3-pip 455 pip3 install pysnmp 456 python3 natlas-cli.py 457 pip3 install netaddr 458 python3 natlas-cli.py 459 python3 setup.py install 460 python3 setup.py 461 python3 natlas-cli.py 462 pip3 install pydot 463 python3 natlas-cli.py 464 python3 natlas-cli.py list

[orgitnized]

Thanks! I'll give it a whirl ;) Appreciate the help!

[MJL85]

Sorry, I have not yet produced an install guide. This is from my own notes, give it a try.

pip install pysnmp pip install netaddr pip install pydot

Then you need GraphViz (https://www.graphviz.org/) If you're on Windows add the graphviz Bin directory (ex C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin) to your environment Path variable.

You should then be able to run it without those errors.

I'll look at if "for f in os.listdir(working_dir + '/modules'):" is a bug - probably is.

[orgitnized]

Tried on Mac High Sierra and on Ubuntu 18 from scratch. Both try to discover and then dump this output:

Ok, I performed an apt-get install graphviz and now it looks like it's working on Ubuntu. That's some progress ;)

[orgitnized]

Also did a brew install graphviz on high sierra and that looks like it's working now as well.
