Installation fails on Kali Linux

[lokeshh]

I'm on the Kali Linux with root account and tried to install ProxyHelper but it failed giving the following error:

You are not in /root/.proxyhelper directory, you are doing it wrong
See steps on github.com again

Here's how executed the installation commands:

root@kali:~# proxychains  git clone https://github.com/Nithmr/ProxyHelper ~/.proxyhelper

Thanks for the report. A major change in installation is on its way. I will test the next release with Kali. It should be done in a couple of days.

if [ ! $(pwd | sed 's/\/.\/.\///') = '.proxyhelper' ]

The sed pattern to assert whether the user is in "~/.proxyhelper" directory or not, fails for root user. Thanks for reporting this.

For now, you can just remove the if construct, all other components should work fine as long as you are in "$HOME/.proxyhelper" directory.
