How install program shodan

Question

I have Kali Linux and I want to install shodan, but it gives me an error message:

$ easy_install shodan
-bash: easy_install: command not found

Can you tell me what can I do ?

Answer 1

As @ctl-alt-delor points out, you do not have easy_install installed.

You have to do:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

And then you can already run:

easy_install shodan

An alternative I pointed out earlier in comments is also doing:

sudo apt-get install pip
pip install shodan

Answer 2

Shodan is already installed in most penetration and security Linux distros, such as Kali Linux, Parrot Os and BlackArch.

To check If you got Shodan, just enter Shodan on terminal.
