✅ Step 1: Check if Python is Installed Correctly

1️⃣ Open Command Prompt (CMD)

• Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
  2️⃣ Type the following command and press Enter:

python --version

OR

py --version

🔹 If you see a Python version (e.g., Python 3.x.x), Python is installed correctly.

3️⃣ If CMD still shows "Python was not found", continue to Step 2.

✅ Step 2: Add Python to System PATH (Manual Method)

If Python is installed but not recognized in CMD, you need to add it to the system PATH manually.

1️⃣ Find Python Installation Path:

• Open File Explorer (Win + E).
• Go to C:UsersYourUsernameAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython3X (or wherever Python was installed).
• Copy the full path (Example: C:Python310 or C:UsersYourNameAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython310).

2️⃣ Add Python to System Environment Variables:

• Press Win + R, type sysdm.cpl, and press Enter.
• Go to the Advanced tab → Click Environment Variables.
• Under System Variables, find Path, then click Edit.
• Click New, then paste your Python path (e.g., C:Python310).
• Click OK → OK → Restart your computer.

3️⃣ Test Again in CMD:

• Open Command Prompt and type:shCopyEditpython --version
• If Python is recognized, you're good to go! 🎉

✅ Step 3: Install Required Python Packages

Once Python is working, install dependencies needed for the script:

1️⃣ Open Command Prompt
2️⃣ Run the following command to install required Python libraries:

pip install openai pandas requests

✔ This will install OpenAI API, Pandas (for CSV handling), and Requests (for HTTP requests).

✅ Step 4: Run the Python Script

Now that Python is installed, you can run the malware blog post generator script.

1️⃣ Move your Python script (malware_post_generator.py) to a folder (e.g., C:MalwareScripts).
2️⃣ Open Command Prompt and navigate to the script's folder:

cd C:MalwareScripts

3️⃣ Run the script:

python malware_post_generator.py
