Failed to find compiledb

[josephwb]

Installed with:

pip3 install compiledb

Works fine:

compiledb --help
Usage: compiledb [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
...

Not installed in a weird location (i.e., it is in my $PATH):

$ which compiledb
/home/josephwb/.local/bin/compiledb

I'm not sure what the issue here is. Is SoftWipe assuming everything is root (as suggested by #11)?

[angtft]

These issues should be unrelated. What is the error output exactly and how is SoftWipe called?

Here it is:

sudo ./softwipe.py 
missing: compiledb
Failed to find the following tools:
  compiledb (install via: pip)
Make sure all tools are installed on your system and accessible. Either put their location into your PATH or provide a full path to each tool as its exe_name in tools_info.py.

Try not using sudo.

Ha ok working now. I was just following the wiki to install dependencies, but ended up installing them myself with each crash/error ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
