How to install wfuzz on Windows (ubu env)

[drekbad]

In various env, particularly what I was finding with Ubuntu env running on Windows (not via VM, but setting up the way you would to get bash in Windows), I was getting errors for:

• curl-config missing
• pycurl failure to install

but was able to resolve all of this by doing the following:

I used python3.8:
pip3 install wfuzz

failed bc of missing "curl-config"
# FIXED BY: apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
failed to install pycurl
# FIXED BY: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev python3.8-dev

NOTE: python3.8-dev corresponds to installed ver of python

Finally:
pip3 install wfuzz

Hope this is helpful!
