I am facing an issue with Caldera and am not able to run it on my Kali Linux machine at all.

I tried running Caldera in my Kali Linux machine but unfortunately, it's showing an error while running the server using the python3 server.py --insecure --build
I thought maybe it was because I did not install all the required libraries and packages, however even after installing all the requirements using the pip3 install -r requirements it did not work. I tried installing npm separately using sudo apt install npm and it was successfully installed. However, when I tried to run the server.py, it showed a different error.

Here is the error output that I got:

INFO     Invalid Github Gist personal API token provided. Gist C2 contact will not be started.                                                          contact_gist.py:70

I tried it with my friends' PCs but they had different problems when trying to login into the Caldera dashboard by entering the username and password, it shows an error below the password field as "Not Found....". and it doesn't allow me to log in at all and keeps bringing the login page.

How to fix this? Do I need to change any configurations or install anything else?

I have updated my Kali Linux again and now its version is 2023.3. I tried reinstalling the requirements.txt again but now it's showing a different error as shown below:

I tried installing the "aiohttp_apispec" manually using pip3 as shown below:

Even though it shows that the "aiohttp_apispec" is successfully downloaded and installed it still shows the following error while executing the server.py:

Today I tried to install the requirements again by running pip3 install -r requirements.txt however I got the following error at the end:

In this case you'll want to set up a virtual Python environment to allow different pip requirement contexts.

You can reference the Python documentation for virtual environments as needed, but the gist of it will look something like the following:

# create new virtual environment
python -m venv path/to/new/virtual/environment

# activate your virtual environment
source <venv>/bin/activate

# Install your dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

I have followed your instructions and unfortunately, I am getting a new type of error while opening Caldera in my browser.

Here are the steps I followed:

  1. Created a Python virtual env

  2. Activated the env

  3. Installed all the requirements using pip successfully

  4. rerun the server.py as shown below:

  5. However, when I try to open the dashboard in my browser I get the "500 Internal Server Error" error message:
    image
  6. This error appeared in the terminal after I tried to open the dashboard:

Note: I tried using 0.0.0.0:8888, 127.0.0.1:8888, and PRIVATE_IP:8888, but none worked.

What could be the issue and how to fix this?

This should be fixed in #3063, try pulling from main and seeing if it works then
