# Installing Scapy on Raspberry Pi 5

## Option 1: Install via apt (Recommended)

```bash
sudo apt-get install python3-scapy
```

This is the safest method and integrates with the system package manager.

## Option 2: Use --break-system-packages (For system tools)

Since this is a system-level monitoring tool that runs as root, you can use:

```bash
sudo pip3 install --break-system-packages scapy
```

## Option 3: Virtual Environment (Not recommended for root tools)

If you prefer a virtual environment (though less convenient for root tools):

```bash
python3 -m venv ~/scapy-env
source ~/scapy-env/bin/activate
pip install scapy
```

Then run the script with:
```bash
sudo ~/scapy-env/bin/python3 rpi_capture_ra_ta_python.py 11
```

## Quick Install Command

For this use case (system monitoring tool), Option 2 is acceptable:

```bash
sudo pip3 install --break-system-packages scapy
```
