Empire Version

• Empire 5.1.2

OS Information (Linux flavor, Python version)

• OS: Kali kali-rolling
• Python: 3.11.2

Describe the bug

• Malleable profiles directory missing after install.
• 0 modules currently loaded after install.

To Reproduce

Followed instructions here to install: https://bc-security.gitbook.io/empire-wiki/quickstart/installation#github

Run ./ps-empire server and on the step "Loading malleable profiles from: /usr/share/powershell-empire/empire/server/data/profiles/" get a FileNotFoundError raised because /usr/share/powershell-empire/empire/server/data/profiles/ doesn't exist.

I created the missing directory and launched both server and client. Have "0 modules currently loaded" according to the client. Terminated both, then ran ./ps-empire client --reset and spun both server and client back up. 0 modules. Repeated but instead reset the server, and spun both back up. 412 modules currently loaded.

Expected behavior

Empire installed and fully configured.

Additional context

I had previously installed Empire v4.x via apt on Kali, then apt removed it, then installed following the "Github" directions.

Did you clone the project down recursively?

Did you clone the project down recursively?

It's been so long but I think I had. I've since rectified it, so we can close this issue.

No longer an issue.
