vmcloak failed after installation, invalid syntax

Question

I've been having some issues with vmcloak after installation. I successfully installed vmcloak v.0.4.1 and when I try and run it I get this error:

Successfully installed vmcloak-0.4.1
(cuckoo) cuckoo@nick-VirtualBox:~/cuckoo$ vmcloak
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/cuckoo/cuckoo/bin/vmcloak", line 5, in <module>
    from vmcloak.main import main
  File "/home/cuckoo/cuckoo/lib/python3.8/site-packages/vmcloak/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    from . import agent, main, vm, misc
  File "/home/cuckoo/cuckoo/lib/python3.8/site-packages/vmcloak/agent.py", line 43
    def execute(self, command, async=False):
                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I was wondering if anyone had run into this issue before, and if so how I might go about fixing it.

@JoshBarrere It's a problem with permissions. Run the entire installation process with root and do the cuckoo user creation afterwards when everything is set up. Takes some tweaking but that's what worked for me — nicholas, Jun 17 '21 at 18:03
