Installing requirements is best done through a virtual environment.
This can be done by first installing the virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper modules on the local system using the pip utility.
pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
Once these modules have been installed, the virutalenvwrapper module should have added the workon and mkvritualenv commands on the PATH of the system.
It may be necessary to also export a new environmental variable called WORKON_HOME which dictates the directory where created virtual environments will exist.
For example, the following command will make virtual environments exist under the directory ~/.envs/:
export WORKON_HOME=~/.envs
By default, virtual environments should be stored under the directory ~/.virtualenvs/.
The commands provided by virtualenvwrapper can be used to setup a Python 3.5 virtual environment for wireshrimp by using the following command:
mkvirtualenv wireshrimp --python=/usr/bin/python3.5
This will setup a new virtual environment called wireshrimp which should automatically be accessed.
You can tell if the virtual environment was automatically accessed by using the command which python.
This should list the alias for python under the new virtual environment rather than the default executable under the /usr/bin directory.
If you need to access the virtual environment, the workon command can be used to access an already existing virtual environment by using the following command:
workon wireshrimp
After you have accessed the virtual environment, all required dependency modules can be installed using pip and the requirements.txt file by using the following command:
pip install -r ./requirements.txt
If you wish to exit the virtual environment, you can use the deactivate command which is only accessible if inside a virtual environment.
The application can be run by first building the executable using the following command once inside the created virtual environment:
python setup.py build
This will place an executable wireshrimp within a ./build/{arch} directory which requires root privileges to execute:
sudo ./build/exe.linux-x86_64-3.5/wireshrimp
