ImportError: No module named 'cortexutils'

[mathurin68]

New install keep getting this error -

I've rerun ' pip install -r requirements.txt' in the analyzers folder.

I've gotten this on a couple analyzers now, but this doesn't happen on all of them. Out of about 5 I'm testing right now the main ones that are giving this error are Onyphe and Censys.

Here's a snapshot of permissions -

Thanks and holy cow this looks promising!

Does sudo pip install -U cortexutils && sudo pip3 install -U cortexutils solve the issue?

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it but still doesn't seem to want to work --

Same problem:
File "./yara_analyzer.py", line 3, in
from cortexutils.analyzer import Analyzer
ImportError: No module named cortexutils.analyzer

@mathurin68 @ainich Can you provide more details about your environment? Like OS, Python2 and 3 installed, output when running the module installation via pip?

[mathurin68]

I guess I kind of moved on from it.... there seems to be about 83 analyzers in there now so if one doesn't work, just move on and hopefully it gets fixed in the next upgrade

But in order to fix something we need to know what's going wrong there.

You don't have the necessary python dependencies installed. There are multiple reasons why that can happen:

• you haven't installed dependencies mentioned in requirements.txt using pip install -r requirements.txt and/or pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• you have installed the requirements as user (pip install --user -r requirements.txt) but using the analyzer with another user
• you're using an outdated docker container
• you're using python virtual environments which are not activated when running an analyzer using cortex
• your python installation is some kind of messed up

This is everything I can think of at the moment.

No updates for this issue, closing it.

Changing "#!/usr/bin/env python3" to "#!/usr/bin/env python" in analysers' python script helped me.

@Chromares To elaborate, if you have more than one version of Python 3 on your system, the pip Python path may be different than the default path for "python3". Using "alternatives" to set the default Python means that you can remove the explicit reference to "python3" and use "python" instead.
