Urgent: MHN Installation Fails – Python Dependency and Network Errors (Graduation Project Critical)

[Mohamed Alsayed Altantawy Yehya]

Dear MHN Development Team,

I hope you are doing well.
My name is Mohamed Altantawy Yehya, a senior Information Technology student at Mansoura University, Egypt.

I am currently working on my graduation project, which depends heavily on setting up and running the Modern Honeypot Network (MHN) server. Unfortunately, I have been unable to complete the installation process on Ubuntu 18.04, as the setup script fails with repeated Python and network dependency errors.

During the installation using the install.sh script, I encountered repeated timeout and connection errors when pip tried to download packages from PyPI, followed by this final error message:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement ipaddress; python_version == "3"
(from cryptography>=1.9->pyopenssl==17.3.0) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for ipaddress; python_version == "3"

It seems that some of the dependencies defined in the installation script or the requirements.txt file are either outdated or incompatible with Python 3 on modern systems. I have already tried updating pip, setuptools, and system packages, but the issue persists.

This is a critical blocker for me, since my graduation project fully depends on MHN, and I cannot proceed without getting the server up and running. I would truly appreciate any guidance, workaround, or updated installation instructions to help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for your time and for maintaining this important open-source project.

Best regards,
