Unable to install Cuckoo on Redhat OS

[HNT3R]

Dears,

I'm facing issue while installing Cuckoo on Redhat 8.4, after completing the requirements from documentation once I run the command to install it keep showing this error :
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-4SFC85/jsonschema/
and I have checked that setuptools is already installed and jsonschema also.

Any idea how to fix this issue ?

thanks ~

Hi @HNT3R ,

I have to create an environment with cuckoo on Redhat os. Would you be so kind and share your install steps with me?

I got the same error during my install steps, this package solved that: yum install -y python-jsonschema

Thanks,

[HNT3R]

@C1ph3R-s thanks m8 for your response unfortunately this did not resolve the issue, would you like to share the steps for dependencies installation since I had to look for alternative in RH packages ?

@HNT3R Sure, I have created a dockerfile for that purpose:

@C1ph3R-s

Thanks for sharing the step, I have followed the same over docker and ver user same it does not execute.

appreciate your support m8

[C1ph3R-s]

@HNT3R I don't know your env, but this file still working on my container.

and ver user same it does not execute. how do you mean that?

[HNT3R]

@C1ph3R-s

Virtualenv as mentioned on Cuckoo documentation in below link.

$ virtualenv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv)$ pip install -U pip setuptools
(venv)$ pip install -U cuckoo

https://cuckoo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/host/installation/#create-a-user

[C1ph3R-s]

@HNT3R I see but how do you mean it does not execute.?
Did you get any error at this step?

[HNT3R]

@C1ph3R-s

I followed the steps and got same error as in my first post, also it seems the docker package is not available from the Red Hat repositories which is replaced by container-tools module, have you tested it on Redhat 8?

best regards

[C1ph3R-s]

@HNT3R I have tested it on centos7 ans 8.

I had this problem on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS,
I solved it by
sudo apt install -y python-jsonschema
