Possible wrong location for .malwapi.conf

[ClaudioWayne]

Hi,

I'm facing an error when installing remnux from scratch.

Error:

After digging into saltstack.log the error is eventually caused by a wrong path for .malwapi.conf

I found .malwapi.conf in a different path

/opt/malwoverview/lib/python3.8/site-packages/root/.malwapi.conf

After I created /opt/malwoverview/lib/python3.8/site-packages/home/remnux/ manually and copied .malwapi.conf there, the installation was successful.

Steps to repoduce:

• wget https://REMnux.org/remnux-cli
• mv remnux-cli remnux
• chmod +x remnux
• sudo mv remnux /usr/local/bin
• sudo apt install -y gnupg
• sudo remnux install

Hi @ClaudioWayne , did you happen to run the install as root (not sudo, but as the user root)? If so, that would cause the path to be incorrect because it is attempting to look for the "root" home directory.

Hi @ClaudioWayne , I've got the issue sorted out now, and will be submitting a PR shortly to fix this.

Hi,
sorry for late response
I have run the command as described in the documentation as remnux user

sudo remnux install

thx for the PR and maintaining this project
