[zinking]

Have you already tried to install python for mac? You will need it.

Basically every linux program should work on mac...

Maybe not the right version, @zinking should say us what exactly not work. Maybe theres only a missing Prerequisites

[sweetmandm]

@zinking It seems to work fine for me on OSX -- if you can provide more info about which part broke for you and what the error messages were, it would probably help diagnose your issue.

[ThomasWunderlich]

Mac OSX comes with Python. Check what version by running python --version and making sure that it's python 2.7.* @heubergen Mac is built on bsd, not linux so there are some differences and many programs can act unexpectedly

[zinking]

sudo apt-get install python-crypto python-dpkt python-ipy python-pypcap sudo: apt-get: command not found

I use home-brew to install the dependencies. @ThomasWunderlich can you let me know your steps? probably worth adding them to the README.

[sweetmandm]

good point -- homebrew might not have what you need, I used pip which is a package manager for python dependencies.

You can check if you already have pip installed with:

which pip

If it doesn't print a path, you need to install it. easy_install should come with python, so this should work:

sudo easy_install pip

Then you can install the deps:

pip install crypto
pip install dpkt
pip install pycap
pip install ipy

And finally you should now be able to

make

[RyPeck]

Should the install process be moved to use the pip -r functionality instead of apt-get? Not sure what OS's you want to support.

@sweetmandm thanks, it works perfectly now.

[ThomasWunderlich]

It probably makes sense to switch to using pip, which is portable across a number of linux/bsd distros. Probably worth updating the README and install script

Have you considered setting up a virtualenv sandbox (https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/), activating it, and then running pip in there to keep everything neat and clean? It makes things significantly easier (plus keeps different versions of the same module required by different apps from overlapping).

If ok with the devs, I will make a docker.io image on docker hub with the latest. We can link to it via github, and issue solved. Will advise when it is up. BTW, you all rock, fired up to see dshell on github.
