Error when installing scapy

Question

Ok so i'm trying to install scapy for python3, but ive been having some issues

when I enter this command: pip install scapy This is the output:

Collecting scapy
Using cached scapy-2.3.3.tgz
In the tar file C:\Users\MYNAME~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-oao3meyq-
unpack\scapy-2.3.3.tgz the member scapy-2.3.3/README
is invalid: unable to resolve link inside archive
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\MYNAME~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-
  qjegdxw6\scapy\setup.py", line 36
    os.chmod(fname, 0755)
                       ^

----------------------------------------
 Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in 
 C:\Users\MYNAME~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-qjegdxw6\s
 capy\

So then I searched around and I tried using this:

 pip3 install scapy-python3

But it just says that pip3 isnt a command, so im not sure what to do

Instead of pip3 use pip

pip install scapy-python3

It worked for me. pip3 is usually used if you have both python2 and python3 installed on your machine. It is uesd to distinguish between different pips in your system.

The pip3.exe will be in python3x/scripts/.

Check if there is a pip3.exe is available in your scripts folder. If the above solution doesn't work for you then try giving the full path of correct pip.exe.
