what is this Error about? I have installed binwalk and uninstall it many times but the error is the same.

Perhaps you have previously used pip to install to binwalk. Just uninstall it, and reinstall.

$ python -m pip uninstall binwalk

$ sudo python3 setup.py uninstall
$ sudo ./deps.sh
$ sudo python3 setup.py install

I have uninstalled binwalk: python -m pip uninstall binwalk

and there is no setup.py file, and if i run command binwalk it gives same error

[a4865g]

The setup.py file is on this github.

You just need to git clone and go into the repo folder and do what I did earlier, it should work.
