Building Python bindings do not provide tools

[emonigma]

I discovered this package on StackExchange and felt very excited by the possibility of retrieving encrypted data. A StackExchange user mentioned:

I would just start with the tools supplied. I.e. try running fvdeinfo and fvdemount on it with a lot of verbosity

I installed the package with Python:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

But I cannot find the fvdeinfo and fvdemount:

$ which fvdemount
$ which fvdeinfo
$ sudo fvdeinfo
Password:
sudo: fvdeinfo: command not found

and the research paper referenced in the README does not seem to contain it either.

Could you add in the documentation a quick guide for getting started with libfvde?

You only built the Python bindings, not the tools. As I said before follow the build instructions https://github.com/libyal/libfvde/wiki/Building. It clearly indicates:

setup.py can be used to create a Python-binding only build.

I strongly encourage to take some time to read the build instructions, especially if you're not/less familiar with building from source.

Indeed, the instructions to build from source contain all the elements for a successful build, and now I see:

$ ls  /usr/local/bin/ | grep fvde
fvdeinfo
fvdemount
fvdewipekey
