### Better Dependency Handling
|
||||
I can rely on `pip` + `requirements.txt` for python libraries, but most of wifite's dependencies are installed programs.
|
||||
|
||||
When a dependency is not found, Wifite should walk the user through installing all required dependencies, and maybe the optional dependencies as well.
|
||||
|
||||
The dependency-installation walkthrough should provide or auto-execute the install commands (`git clone`, `wget | tar && ./config`, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
Since we have a Python script for every dependency (under `wifite/tools/` or `wifite/util/`), we use Python's multiple-inheritance to achive this.
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
1. A base *Dependency* class
|
||||
* `@abstractmethods` for `exists()`, `name()`, `install()`, `print_install()`
|
||||
2. Update all dependencies to inherit *Dependency*
|
||||
* Override abstract methods
|
||||
3. Dependency-checker to run at Wifite startup.
|
||||
* Check if all required dependencies exists.
|
||||
* If required deps are missing, Prompt to install all (optional+required) or just required, or to continue w/o install with warning.
|
||||
* If optional deps are missing, suggest `--install` without prompting.
|
||||
* Otherwise continue silently.
