You have not said where, or how, you are trying to install
these - in Template,
Standalone, or template based qube.

Clear - look in the setup script. You are using a parameter
"\S" that is
not supported.

You have repeated error 502 - this is "Bad Gateway"- change
your routing
to these sites.
You do not have right python installed - the requirement is
specific -
>=2.7, but less than 3.0.
Install and configure your python(s) as necessary.

You need to install DistUtilsExtra - in Debian based qubes you
should
install python-distutils-extra or python3-distutils-extra ,
depending on
your python version.
1. Roger
2&3. Sounds like I need to install some sort of 2.x python
version. I imagine 2.9 should be sufficient if I can find it.
4. I'll see what I can find on my own with a Fedora based qube via
dnf. Do you happen to know what it would be for fedora? Thank you
for your help.
Re: 1, the EyeWitness issue. I still have a problem.
I went into the setup.sh file with gedit to look at the code. The only
relevant line of code seems to be this.
echo "[Error]: ${osinfo} is not supported by this setup script."
There was no \S parameter for me to edit out. And, despite pulling
this via git clone, it seems that the setup.sh script does not support
Fedora. I'm going to google around and see what I can find. Certainly
there has to be a version of this program that likes Fedora. Otherwise
I guess I need to try this again with debian and put up with Firefox ESR.
Floyd: If you see this, let me know if you have any feedback. It would
definitely be appreciated since you commented on my posts before and
have done something similar to what I'm trying to do re: OSINT VM's on
Fedora. I know you settled on debian but I just want to finally call
this setup complete and get on with it, ya know? Thanks again all.

I found my notes - basically a print out of the install document Bazzell
provided on his website, IIRC. I printed it from an editor that provided
line numbers (notepad++ ?). I also used info from the 7th edition of his
book, which is earlier than the one you're using IIRC.
I don't see any notes regarding issues with python3-pip or installing
Python in general. I used the Qubes generic Debian 10 template and
cloned it before making the mods.
I do see a note about needing a git account (which I do not have, I
don't think) for EyeWitness. My notes indicate I reached a section of
Bazzells notes that involved git cloning - Sublist3r, Photon,
theHarvester - when I apparently stopped. Huh. My template shows
EyeWitness installed, but it does not run. Maybe that one did not need
an account. Looking at some of the time stamps in the template it's been
over a year since I worked with the template and almost as long with the
test case VM. In fact, there are enough of the apps I did install that
now do not work that leads me to think I may have an issue with the
template. I use Qubes as my daily driver for everything unless I
absolutely need a proprietary Windows app. Everything else is working.
My notes indicate I stopped after the install of "amass" - whatever that is.
I also did not do any of the steps in his Updates section. Based solely
on the numbered lines of the printout, there are approximately 100
install steps, of which I did ~80% before stopping. The steps do NOT
include anything related to installing an actual OS (Ubuntu in this
case), but does include tweaking Firefox. It does not include any steps
from the Updates: section. In my 7th Ed version, there do appear to be
some apps that are actually initially installed in the Updates: section
- Skiptracer, Sherlock and a couple of crawlers.
I found the Firefox stuff and his scripts to be useful when working the
test case. I was working with known current data, so I had some insight.
I also had data dumps from commercial databases as well for comparison.
As I stated, it has been awhile since I played with the OSINT VM, but
these tools require more hands on that what I have given them. I also
did not have any occasion to use, other than to test, many of the tools
Bazzell recommended. That said, these are useful tools and OSINT has a
place in an investigators toolbox. Bazzell has done an excellent job of
sharing his knowledge and experience.
My *nix background is limited, especially in the desktop area. I dealt
with servers, hypervisors and appliances. Some of the replies from far
more knowledgeable and experienced Qubes users have been on point,
detailed and educational. Qubes is a natural for OSINT I think, but most
of the world runs on standalone installs or relatively uncomplicated
virtualization solutions that mostly just work.
You have sparked my interest in acquiring the most current edition of
his book. In my experience, Bazzell really puts a lot of work into his
editions. His Privacy books are excellent. It's also timely in that my
upcoming OSINT CE (continuing education) course begins in a couple of
weeks. Be interesting for me to compare and contrast.
Regarding browsers, Firefox is mostly sufficient, but I prefer others,
and they are not based on Chrome. It's a question of whom do you trust.
And what browser supported the required extensions.
Regarding video CODECs, my issue is that the Firefox in Fedora didn't
have them installed. Firefox ESR in Debian plays everything I've needed
without installing any CODECS. In fact, I've been using a Debian VM a
lot more for daily work because it just works. YMMV.
I'm giving serious thought to a fresh install of Qubes on much larger
drives. Space has become an issue and I'd like to do a couple of things
different this time.
