Step 5 returning "no such file or directory"

[jatk111]

when entering the last part of step 5 which is '.cookpw.py PASSWORD >password.bin" im getting back this line "/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory"
Any idea what it could be?

@jatk111 Are you running Linux OS?

Do you have python installed? Seems that you need the executable.

I'm going to assume your on a UNIX-like platform a la MacOS, Linux, BSD, etc., you have python installed, and you have access to the command line.

cd into the directory where you either did a git clone or extracted the zip and run the below:
./cookpw.py PASSWORD > password.bin

The difference is that you were referencing .cookpw.py which would be a file named such, while using ./ or ../ denotes the position on the file system, with ./ being the current directory and ../ being the parent directory.

An alternative would be to reference the absolute path to the file, such as;
/path/to/cookpw.py PASSWORD > password.bin
With /path/to/ being something like /home/someuser/Downloads/ and so on...

I hope this helps answer your issue.
