Dependency issue in installation script about howdy HOT 16 CLOSED

Real error is

/tmp/dlib_clone/dlib/external/pybind11/include/pybind11/detail/common.h:111:10: fatal error: Python.h: such file not found

It is due to we have Anaconda already installed. You can check it with

$python --version
Python 3.6.4 :: Anaconda, Inc.

To fix it, change "python" references to "python3" in installer.py line 39. We are using python 3.x but apt installs python 2.x packages.py

Now, we could install everything but "sudo -i" shows the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/lib/security/howdy/compare.py", line 11, in
import cv2
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'
Unknown error: 1

Now installing cv2 module using "pip3 install opencv-python" doesn't work.

So, to fix it, install cv2 dependency with
$conda install -c menpo opencv

Later on, we have error in face_detection module, so I fix it adding it.
$ pip install face_recognition

Now, howdy works

Anyway, in low light conditions, howdy wouldn't work so it will take us about 10 seconds to be able to prompt password in sudo and login screen so a good idea would be to be able to prompt password in the same time howdy is trying to detect our face without waiting howdy script to exit

Thanks so much for figuring this out, i'll fix the python2 apt packages.

I can't reproduce the last 2 errors, and i can't really expect everyone to have conda installed. Might need to add information on how to fix that installation error in the readme.

I've added the last note as a new issue at #9. However, i'm not sure how this can be implemented. It needs to be done in PAM but i don't know enough about it to fix it and online manuals are few and far between.

apt install python3-opencv just works for me.
on ubuntu 18.04

from howdy.

Missed a dependency, sorry. The merge i just did should fix this.

from howdy.

those errors have disappeared but I have a new one:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 40, in
from setuptools import setup, Extension
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

from howdy.

Looks like you don't have pip either, pushed another one to fix that. I'll be here if you get another error.

from howdy.

new message at the time of installation (but this is not a error):

The directory '/home/szelag/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

Nothing has changed at the end:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 40, in
from setuptools import setup, Extension
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

from howdy.

Missed one dependency the last time i added packages, that one should work now.

from howdy.

nope, still the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 40, in
from setuptools import setup, Extension
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'
Error while running last command

from howdy.

Fixed setuptools only being available on python2, hopefully you should get past that now?

from howdy.

new error :-)

I have to go to sleep, I'll be back tomorrow to test. thank you for your time!

from howdy.

sorry, I installed cmake and the installation went on, but there is still an error:

File "/usr/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line 291, in check_call
raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['cmake', '--build', '.', '--config', 'Release', '--', '-j4']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

from howdy.

That looks nasty. What version of Ubuntu are you running and has nothing else been printed to the console?

from howdy.

As i've had no other reports of the specific issue with cv2, i'm going to close this for now. Feel free to comment if you've also encountered this error.

from howdy.

It also works as expected on the travis 16.04 instance, it seems very machine dependent

from howdy.

maybe I should comment on issue #32 but commentted here...
