There’s your problem :wink:

You’ll need to install nmap before it’ll work.

Ok, but how? I have tried to install it (sudo ./python3 -m pip install nmap. Something is installed but I still got this error.

Thanks for your help!

nmap is not a python package, so you can’t install it that way.

A few seconds with Google found this and this. I don’t use Synology, so I can’t help further than pointing you at Google, and the Synology forums :wink:

Thank you for your answear, I really appreciated it!
But unfortunatly it doesn’t work. I have already tried what they suuggest on this pages.

But it didn’t supported my cpu in my NAS.

But thanks again :slight_smile:

Best bet then is to post on a Synology forum, remembering to provide details of your NAS model (and firmware revision etc) so that people can help you.

Yes I will try that. Thanks for the explanation how things work. I’m a newbe into this :slight_smile:

I was able to install ipkg which then allowed me to install nmap on synology nas using this approach:
