May I know is it related to Python version, if yes can I upgrade python and how to do that. I am not sure what I am missing? I followed ,

Also I tried one of your answers,

==========================================
Hi!
The easiest would be to try this solution in a fresh custom kali:

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire.git
cd Empire
./setup/install.sh
./empire

Hope it helps!

Hi!
Which exact command did you use to install empire?
Also it seems there is some network issue as well, you kali can’t reach the needed repositories, this can be caused by the firewall or antivirus in your host machine, so disable both of them first.

Greetings!

Hi Diego,

I tried the below command,

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire.git
cd Empire
./setup/install.sh
./empire
But no luck.

[Diego Pérez]

Hi!
Yeah, that won’t work as expected. It will be better to follow the instructions as in the course, then empire will be installed successfully.

Greetings!
Diego

If I follow the course instructions I am ending with below error,
