[W3af-users] Install problem

[Dan R. <da...@da...>]

Hi—

I apologize in advance for asking this newbie question. 

I’m trying to install w3af on a Mac using the instructions on w3af.org/download <http://w3af.org/download>. I’m a total python newbie. I got w3af from github, then ran ./w3af_gui and got the list of unmet dependencies. When I run the script, however, I’m getting some errors. Below is the list of errors. 

If the answer is, “Python newbies shouldn’t try to run w3af, I’m OK with that.” If not, some advice on what I need to do to fix this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Dan

    DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (six) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. This is due to the fact that uninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.
