bhuvangupta Tool Dependency Checker
When Invoked
The user runs /vapt setup.
Behavior
Check for all security tools used across the VAPT skill suite, organized by tier. Display installation status and provide install commands for missing tools.
Tool Registry
Core (Required)
These tools are needed for basic functionality. Many tests are severely degraded without them.
| Tool | Used By | Check Command | Install (macOS) | Install (Linux) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
curl |
All skills | curl --version |
Pre-installed | apt install curl |
openssl |
vapt-ssl | openssl version |
Pre-installed | apt install openssl |
python3 |
Scripts, fallbacks | python3 --version |
brew install python3 |
apt install python3 |
nmap |
vapt-network, vapt-ssl | nmap --version |
brew install nmap |
apt install nmap |
Recommended
Tests will use fallbacks (curl, Python scripts) when these are missing, with reduced coverage.

- Run the check command
- If found, extract version where possible
- If not found, show install command for detected OS (check
unamefor macOS vs Linux)
Also check Python dependencies from requirements.txt:
python3 -c "import reportlab" 2>/dev/null && echo "OK" || echo "MISSING"
python3 -c "import rich" 2>/dev/null && echo "OK" || echo "MISSING"
python3 -c "import bs4" 2>/dev/null && echo "OK" || echo "MISSING"
