Hi,

there are really not enough details to offer any help here.

• platform
• python version
• pip version etc

kali linux pip 20.3.4 Python 3.9.9

set it up like this: sudo apt-get install git git clone https://github.com/pybombs/pybombs.git cd pybombs sudo python setup.py install sudo pybombs recipes add gr-recipes git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-recipes.git sudo pybombs recipes add gr-etcetera git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-etcetera.git sudo pybombs prefix init /usr/local/ -a gr-gsm sudo pybombs -p gr-gsm install gr-gsm

Does installing directly with pip work?

Sorry but I cannot reproduce.

I've used the kali linux docker image https://www.kali.org/docs/containers/official-kalilinux-docker-images/ and I can successfully install mako with python3 using pip

I'm trying the provided script above, but it's installing a large number of packages, and it's taking a lot of time....

You should probably ask the maintainers of it, since it looks like something on their end
