Hi ,  
i am having trouble installing dradis on Kali . As shown below i am getting this err message

when i start ./bin/setup it looks like okey bu then i get this

_== Enabling default add-ons ==_  
_== Installing dependencies ==_  
_The following gems are missing_

- 
  - mini\_racer (0.6.2)\*

- 
  - libv8-node (16.10.0.0)\*  
_Install missing gems with `bundle install`_  
_Don’t run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and installing your_  
_bundle as root will break this application for all non-root users on this machine._

then it continues and i get this

An error occurred while installing libv8-node (16.10.0.0), and Bundler cannot  
continue.

In Gemfile:  
mini\_racer was resolved to 0.6.2, which depends on  
libv8-node

== Command [“bundle install”] failed ==

and installing process stops . Can you help me with this ?

thank you …

Hi @segun, thanks for posting.

1. Can you confirm the version of Kali you’re running?
2. and that you’re trying to run Dradis from a repo clone

Thanks!

Sorry, I’m afraid I cannot reproduce, this is what I did:

1. Deploy a fresh [Kali in Linode](https://www.linode.com/marketplace/apps/kali-linux/kali-linux/)
2. SSH as a regular user (not root)
3. Follow our [Ruby Environment](https://dradis.com/ce/documentation/ruby.html) instructions.
4. Run the `apt-get` command in our [Kali instructions](https://dradis.com/ce/documentation/install_kali.html).
5. Run `./bin/setup`

And it worked 😔

This error thought:

> _Don’t run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and installing your_  
> _bundle as root will break this application for all non-root users on this machine._

Could it be that you’re running commands as `root` ?
