You’re missing a Python package, use:
pip install future

The development Wiki has instructions for setting up the build environment: Setting up the Build Environment (Linux/Ubuntu) — Dev documentation

Hello Muntaha

From the ardupilot/ArduPlane directory, try this:

…/Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py --map –console

If you want to open ArduCopter then just replace the ArduPlane with ArduCopter in the above command
