? Databases:

✔️ Prerequisites

  • Python3.
  • In order to display emojis on Windows, it is recommended to install the new Windows terminal.
  • ⚠️ In order to use the Wigle service it is necessary to obtain an API and configure the utils/API.yaml file replacing the value of the “wigle_auth” parameter for the “Encoded for use” data provided by Wigle. This is necessary for searching by SSID.

?️ Installation

Use the package manager pip to install requirements.

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
