Solution for Unexpected Indentation/Syntax Error When Running xtreamPOC.py

If you encounter errors like:

IndentationError: unexpected indent

or

SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

when running xtreamPOC.py, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Run the script with Python explicitly

Instead of trying to execute the script by clicking on it or typing just the script name, navigate to the project directory first and run it using Python:

Windows (Command Prompt)

cd C:\Users\user\xtreamPOC\
py xtreamPOC.py

or try:

python xtreamPOC.py

or:

python3 xtreamPOC.py

Mac/Linux (Terminal)

cd ~/xtreamPOC/
python3 xtreamPOC.py

2. Check Python Version

Ensure you're using Python 3. You can check your installed version by running:

python --version

or

python3 --version

3. Verify Line Endings

If the issue persists, check if the script was downloaded with incorrect line endings (e.g., CRLF vs. LF). If necessary, re-download or clone the repository and try again.

Following these steps should resolve the issue. Let me know if you need further assistance! 🚀
