$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Or you can use the docker image :

$ docker build -t depfuzzer:latest .
$ docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/host depfuzzer

Use the tool

The tool can be used to scan folders to search specific file where dependencies are declared, for example :

  • package.json
  • requirements.txt
  • ...

python3 main.py --provider pypi --path ~/Documents/Projets/MyProject/

Moreover, this tool can be used to scan one specific dependency :

python3 main.py --provider pypi --dependency requests:0.1.0

Please note that the tool used a third-party called deps.dev, you might need to specify a proxy to reach it.
