Error code (exit code 1) when installing netfilterqueue on macOS

When I try to install the module netfilterqueue for python via pip, I get the error:

"Command "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='/private/tmp/pip-install-Ut3XcJ/netfilterqueue/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record /private/tmp/pip-record-teUDXs/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-install-Ut3XcJ/netfilterqueue/"

I installed the module scapy without any problems, so I'm confused why netfilterqueue isn't installing. I'm currently using macOS High Sierra.

According to these issue on their Github page, it is not supported on macOS.

https://github.com/kti/python-netfilterqueue/issues/14:

libnetfilterqueue is a Linux-only feature, so you won't be able to install python-netfilterqueue on Mac OS.

Sorry, python-netfilterqueue will not work on Mac because nfqueue is Linux-only: http://www.netfilter.org/projects/libnetfilter_queue/index.html

error code 1 means operation not permitted, so it is a problem of authorization. Try with sudo before the command: sudo pip install python-netfilterqueue
