Follow these instructions to get Ducky running on your local machine.

1. Clone the Repository Open your terminal and run:

   git clone https://github.com/thecmdguy/Ducky.git
   cd Ducky

2. Install and Run It is highly recommended to use a virtual environment. This single command will create a virtual environment, install all dependencies from pyproject.toml, and make the ducky command available.

   On Windows:

   # Create and activate a virtual environment
   python -m venv venv
   .\venv\Scripts\activate
   
   # Install the project in editable mode. This also installs all dependencies.
   pip install -e .
   
   # Run the application!
   ducky

   On macOS / Linux:

   # Create and activate a virtual environment
   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   
   # Install the project in editable mode.
   pip install -e .
   
   # Run the application
   ducky

A Note on the libpcap Warning: When you run Ducky for the first time, you may see a console warning that says WARNING: No libpcap provider available !. This is a harmless message from the Scapy library and can be safely ignored. Ducky is designed to work perfectly without it.
