Python requirements not installed

[RyanInsolencee]

Hi guys

Ive followed the step by step installation guide but im stuck on starting up IntelOwl after running the initialize.sh script to verify installed dependencies it tells me i can run IntelOwl now after i go into my venv, but when i try to run the start.py i get the error that i dont have the python requirements installed. upon checking on the documents and the requirements, ive verified that i do have them installed. PLEASE HELP I DONT UNDERSTAND AHHHHHHHHHH

Hey.
The script to check the python requirements is kinda straightforward:

try:
    from dotenv import load_dotenv
    from git import Repo
except ImportError:
    print(
        "you must install the Python requirements."
        " See: https://intelowl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html"
    )
    sys.exit(2)

This means that, inside your venv, you do not have these 2 packages installed.

Execute inizialize.sh inside your venv (or simply install these 2 packages) should solve the issue.

can we get in a discord call and then i can share with you whats going on and show you as well? @0ssigeno

Ye, let me setup a server that we do not actually have one atm for IntelOwl, and could actually be useful for troubleshooting

Unfortunately I can't be online on discord now. You can add screenshot video whatever you want on the troubleshooting chan and I will be back to you once I have the time to do so

just let me know whenever you are free to hop in a quick call. much appreciated

just to hijack this conversation without providing additional help, I have just added an issue to rewrite the python start.py script in bash so there will be less problems in dependencies

Exact same issue here, initialize script either within venv or outside declares all is well, however start.py quickly fails with the error:

 $sudo python3 start.py prod up
you must install the Python requirements. See: https://intelowl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html

In some environment you also need the packages from your packet manager in order to comply with those requirements.
Installing python3-dotenv and python3-git packages should solve the issue.
