[2025-03-09T19:33:36Z ERROR binwalk::extractors::common] Failed to spawn external extractor for 'zip' signature: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Hello,

I recently installed binwalk by hand on my system (20.04.1-Ubuntu) and I got this error when running my first extract. I tried to find out what is 7zz, but it seems like it is not part of the 7zip suit. I'm just stuck right now. If someone has any idea how to solve I'm really interested for a solution.

Thank you in advance.

It is worth noting that this also happens in the docker version: 7zz is not installed, and in https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/blob/master/dependencies/src.sh script 7zzs is installed. So the (docker) installation script should be fixed, or the code (#819).

On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, install p7zip-full:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install p7zip-full

Create a Symbolic Link

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/7z /usr/bin/7zz

I solved the problem like this

Should be resolved with this PR.
