Hello. Discovering Dradis for use on the OSCP. Its a great tool, but the version that comes on the PWK kali vm is is not working properly and when I try to install, I can’t seem to get it to work properly with the requirements which ultimately kiil the vm and I have to go back to a snapshot. I was getting errors when trying to save and export and now Dradis wont even fire up anymore. I get this error. ● dradis.service - Dradis web application Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dradis.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2019-09-18 15:11:06 EDT; 4s ago Process: 2585 ExecStart=/usr/bin/bundle exec rails server webrick (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 2584 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c test -e /var/lib/dradis/secretkey || (umask 077; echo “SECRET\_KEY\_BASE=$(pwgen -1 -s -n 100)” \>/var/lib/dradis/secretkey) (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 2585 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Any help would be great, I love it when it is working. Thx guys! ---

Hey @mrkr0wle3, thanks for posting! Are you using these setup instructions for Kali? [Installing Dradis on Kali Linux | Dradis Framework](https://dradis.com/ce/documentation/install_kali.html). If not, I would recommend starting there as it will get you all the latest and greatest CE updates.
