Hi guys, being new to OpenSUSE I would need a little help installing Shodan ---- I only need it for some local device scanning
I am using Tumbleweed Slowroll KDE
Thanks in advance
A few explanations from your side would be good to help your potential helpers to understand your issue. Do you have any link to the software you want to install?
You are indeed not very informative about what you want, but I found (in Leap 15.6) with YaST >Software Management the following packet:
python3-shodan - Python library and command-line utility for Shodan
Shodan is a search engine for Internet-connected devices. Google lets you search for websites, Shodan lets you search for devices. This library provides developers easy access to all of the data stored in Shodan in order to automate tasks and integrate into existing tools.
When this what you are after, then simply install it with YaST > Software Management or with
zypper in python3-shodan
BTW
I guess you are either using Tumbleweed or Slowroll.
It looks strange, but it is really the output of os-release:

Indeed strange. But it once more confirms that every statement made should be accompanied by the proof of a command with output 
shodan init
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/shodan”, line 5, in
from shodan.main import main
File “/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/shodan/main.py”, line 55, in

File “/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/shodan/cli/alert.py”, line 6, in
from tldextract import extract
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tldextract’
How come
Could you help me, please?
andrei@tumbleweed:~> zypper se tldextract

Sounds like missing package dependency. Install the missing module manually.

According your output you have python313-shodan installed . So you need to install python313-tldextract.
sudo zypper in python313-tldextract
Wie mache ich dann weiter???

This is the English language part of the forums. So why your German post #9 above. And you should also precede the commands you use with LANG=C to get output that is understood here. E.g.
LANG=C zypper se tldextract
etc.
And then you should use the Preformatted text feature (the button </>) for your computer code (and please include the command with the output in one code section).

Please use Code-Tags for terminal output such as:

Are there free and fairly good command-line translators?
Maybe read:
man shodan
