Thanks all, it worked but I need extra advice - I typed 'python3 zydra.py'. the outcome was like this: File "zydra.py", line 5, in import rarfile # need unrar tools File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/rarfile.py", line 946 warnings.warn(f"Windows junction not supported - {info.filename}", UnsupportedWarning) – Everything Possible Jun 29 '21 at 09:12
You can upgrade the python version to 3.7, it should work fine. – Sushant Agarwal Jun 30 '21 at 14:52

Your operating system is requiring admin permissions to run that command. If you are running a Unix (Mac or Linux) try running:

sudo pip3 install rarfile

It should then prompt you for your admin password.

If you are interested in learning more about the subject this might be a valuable resource. unix-linux-privileged-management-should-you-sudo

sudo at the beginning of the command will allow you to run as a superuser. I would not recommend using the su alternative if you're not comfortable with the risks.
