Problems With Installing Python Nmap on Ubuntu

Question

I am completely new to Ubunut and Linux so I really have no clue what I am doing wrong here. I'm copying this code out of a book I am using to learn penetration testing with python for a college course, but the code is not working. Below I have the code as I am entering it into terminal, followed by the response that it elicits. What is wrong with the code that I am entering?

programmer:~# wget http://zael.org/norman/python/python-nmap/python-nmap-0.3.2.tar.gz-On map.tar.gz

wget: unable to resolve host address `nmap.tar.gz'

You missed a space after .tar.gz and -On, and the page is "xael.org". — xbello

Also, please understand that the python-nmap module requires you to have Nmap installed separately. nmap.org/download — bonsaiviking

It because you missed a white space between link and the -O option , try:

wget http://xael.org/norman/python/python-nmap/python-nmap-0.3.2.tar.gz

you could also use pip to install package

pip install python-nmap

I was able to resolve the issue by changing the command to: programmer:~# wget http://xael.org/norman/python/python-nmap/python-nmap-0.3.2.tar.gz -Onmap.tar.gz
