Solution that worked for me

SDS-bash3.2$ brew install libmagic

hey @msampathkumar can you list some required deps you needed to install in a formatted way and send a PR to the repo? like the linux one already available at: https://github.com/SlapBot/stephanie-va/edit/master/README.md

I'm trying on windows as I get the same error, but I can't use brew. Any solutions?

Can confirm not working for windows.

pip install libmagic

downloaded libmagic, but magic.py is still missing and the command cannot be completed.
