Installation on Kali not working

[anlx-sw]

I wanted to play around with icebreaker. As I had problems with pipenv on my regluar kali i downloaded the latest rolling release virtualbox ova.

I did a dist upgrade and updated everything to latest (and created a snapshot after that).

Then I cloned the icebreaker repo - and did ./setup.sh and then pipenv shell.

Unfortunately the same error as with my regular kali box:

(icebreaker-pYXGQqZV) root@kali:/opt/icebreaker# ./icebreaker.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./icebreaker.py", line 13, in <module>
    import libtmux
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libtmux'
(icebreaker-pYXGQqZV) root@kali:/opt/icebreaker# 

So there seems to be a problem with the pipenv.

If I try to recreate the enviornment I get

(icebreaker-pYXGQqZV) root@kali:/opt/icebreaker# pipenv install --three
Virtualenv already exists!

I also found a mention in the closed issues that it can help to do pipenv install --two followed by pipenv install --three which isn't fixing the error in case of a fresh, updated kali install.

Do you have any further advise on how to install/fix the python problems on kali linux?

Try uninstalling pipenv. Then try reinstalling with pip3, like pip3 install pipenv.

Unfortunately this seems also not to work on kali:

Well that's real weird. You've got something going on with your pipenv install. But additionally, you need to run pipenv shell prior to running icebreaker. I have no idea how you can install pipenv with pip3 and then not have the command found. You've got something real messed up with your python environ.

As mentioned i tried to install it on a freshly installed kali linux. the only thing ran on this vm were updates and the icebreaker install script. as kali is the most widely used distro for pentesting i try new tools mostly on it.

do you have any tips which linux distro should work out-of-the box with icebreaker?

[DanMcInerney]

When I get time I'll download and install a fresh kali instance to check this out but as a temporary workaround you just need to get pipenv working. I don't know why pip install pipenv wouldn't add it to the path but as soon as you can figure out why your machine isn't adding it to your path you should be good.

OK I installed it on a fresh system. I got an SSL error from pipenv. All these issues appear to stem from Kali's pipenv repo being out of date. I have removed pipenv from automatically running and installing via the setup.sh file and recommended in the README that the user install pipenv from github prior to running the tool.
