### 7. Install the standalone scrypt package (required for strong password hashing)
Thanks to a faulty implementation of the `scrypt` function included in Python’s
`hashlib`, the standalone `scrypt` module is required for stronger-than-default
password hashing, i.e. hash presets greater than `3`. Installing the package is
therefore highly recommended.
On your online machine, download the tar archive:
$ pip3 download --no-deps scrypt==0.8.13
On your offline machine, unpack and enter the archive:
$ tar fax scrypt-0.8.13.tar.gz
$ cd scrypt-0.8.13
Open the file `setup.py` in your text editor. Right before the line beginning
with:

Also change the line:
