why is my Nmap module not working in python 3.7
0
I am currently learning ethical hacking with python and am trying to use Nmap however after installing it, and doing some simple scripting I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "nmap_test.py", line 3, in <module>
nmap1 = nmap.PortScanner()
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/nmap/nmap.py", line 131, in __init__
os.getenv('PATH')
nmap.nmap.PortScannerError: 'nmap program was not found in path. PATH is : /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin'
Previous to this I got a different error saying the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "nmap_test.py", line 3, in <module>
nmap1 = nmap.PortScanner()
AttributeError: module 'nmap' has no attribute 'PortScanner'
With the bottom error I had installed just 'nmap' using pip3 (as I am using python3.7) and when that did not work I uninstalled 'nmap' and installed 'python-nmap' but then I got the top error message.
Please can someone help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. I have included my code below just for reference.
import nmap
nmap1 = nmap.PortScanner()
a = nmap1.nmap_version()
print(a)
python python-3.x nmap

python-nmap is definitely the package you want. The other nmap is a numerical package that doesn't appear to be maintained. The problem you're running into in that the nmap python module requires the nmap binary to be installed on your system and to be in a known location or on the path. In this case, it's not finding the nmap binary on the path. It looks like you're on macOS. The easiest way to get the nmap binary is to install it via homebrew:brew install nmap(if you have homebrew set up)
