Could not start scapy daemon server, which is needed by GUI to create packets.
If you don't need it, use --no-scapy-server flag.

Hi! You need to install Python3.11 and create venv for it:

```

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3.11 python3.11-venv

python3.11 -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate

```

Then you may need to install some dependencies in that venv (global install won't work):

```

venv/bin/python venv/bin/pip install cffi
```
