FAQ
Ignorant with otinstaller, answered
How do I install Ignorant on Kali or Ubuntu?
Install otinstaller once with pipx install otinstaller, run ot init, then ot install ignorant. The tool lands in its own virtualenv under ~/.otinstaller/, pinned to a version that was tested on Ubuntu, so nothing touches your system Python. ot doctor flags a missing git or venv module.
Which inputs does Ignorant take through otinstaller?
p: (phone). otinstaller maps each prefix to Ignorant's own flag. Everything after -- that is not a typed input is passed through unchanged, so the original flags still work.
Where does otinstaller save Ignorant results?
Under ./results/ignorant/<target>/ in the folder you run from, as a timestamped output file plus a .meta.json sidecar with the exact command, timing, exit code, and SHA-256. Add --case <name> to group runs, and ot diff ignorant <target> to compare the last two.
Does Ignorant need an API key or a login?
No key is required for the basic run. Optional keys, where the project supports them, go in ~/.otinstaller/.env and are passed only to tools that declare them.
Can I run Ignorant together with other tools?
Yes. ot run --all p:+15551234567 runs every installed tool that accepts phone input, in parallel, including Ignorant. Save the combination as a playbook to repeat it.
