Problems With Installing Python Nmap on Ubuntu

Question

I am completely new to Ubunut and Linux so I really have no clue what I am doing wrong here. I'm copying this code out of a book I am using to learn penetration testing with python for a college course, but the code is not working. Below I have the code as I am entering it into terminal, followed by the response that it elicits. What is wrong with the code that I am entering?

Answer 1

It because you missed a white space between link and the -O option , try:

wget http://xael.org/norman/python/python-nmap/python-nmap-0.3.2.tar.gz

you could also use pip to install package

pip install python-nmap
