cant start Veil

[slavadba]

Veil version

dont now because cant start veil - see error below, but I think it should be latest - I tried install Veil yesterday.

OS Used - all info (architecture, linux flavor, etc)

Linux kali 4.14.0-kali3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.14.12-2kali1 (2018-01-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

How did you install Veil? (Apt, Clone from Github, etc.)

apt -y install veil
veil --setup

Did you run the setup script?

yes.

Pastebin link to error you are encountering (include console actions you took prior to error)

Expected behavior

start veil

Any additional info you want to tell me

Once #189 is merged, I suggest re-trying.

[slavadba]

"I suggest re-trying" - its means - remove Veil dir and make the installation from the very beginning?
Or I can instrall only changes by running several commands ( and if yes could you suggest these commands please )?

[g0tmi1k]

You said:

How did you install Veil? (Apt, Clone from Github, etc.)
apt -y install veil
veil --setup

So re-trying for you would be:

apt --purge remove -y veil
apt install -y veil
veil

[n1ghty93]

Same Problem here.
Git and APT everything is throwing the same errors. Any workarounds?
Kali everything updated and installed

[g0tmi1k]

@n1ghty93 Until #189 is merged in, either:

• Wait.
• Manually pull in the changes in from Applying Kali's Patches & Other stuff #189.

[n1ghty93]

So ill need to purge veil, clone the git? or isnt it in there, too?

[g0tmi1k]

Best just to wait.

[n1ghty93]

I would but i cant i need it for work :D

[slavadba]

I reinstall Veil using this commands
apt --purge remove -y veil
apt install -y veil
veil

but the error the same:
.
.
.
[*] Settings already detected... Skipping...

[I] If you have any errors running Veil-Evasion, delete the Veil Wine profile ('rm -rf /root/.config/wine/veil') and re-run: '/usr/share/veil/setup/setup.sh -c'

[I] Done!

Merged!
Could you update Veil and re-test with v3.1.6?

[slavadba]

I made

apt --purge remove -y veil
apt install -y veil
veil

and got the same mistakes.

questions: on which OS version 3.1.6 solved the problems described in this topic?
why you can not download Kali, reproduce the problem - and repair it?

[g0tmi1k]

The package in Kali is v3.1.1
So until the package is updated, installing via apt-get will always give the same error. The Kali package should hopefully be updated in the next week or so.
The Kali package is out of @ChrisTruncer 's hand. Which is why he can't just repair it.
And why there isn't an OS you can download with it all setup.

You need to use git clone to install the latest (at this time of writing, v3.1.6). See the README for how.

Options are:

• Wait for Kali's package to update ~ https://pkg.kali.org/pkg/veil
• Install via git clone

I install using git clone - and its fix the issue, thank you very much!

for those of you who have that above error for veil then the solution is to manually install go by following the steps from https://tzusec.com/how-to-install-golang-in-kali-linux/ .

Then after successfully installing it,locate where the veil.py , helpers.py and settings.py
(i guess they all will be in veil dir itself) .

next go to settings.py dir and nano settings.py and then enter

GOLANG_PATH = "path to the go lang"

finally save all those 3 py files.

maybe once again when you run veil it may show error and if it did enter the command

/usr/share/veil/config/setup.sh --force --silent

and after this setup it'll work once you run veil again.
