Installation Error

[p0intbl4nc]

I'm unable to install nuclei. I'm getting the following error.

github.com/syndtr/goleveldb/leveldb/filter
go/pkg/mod/github.com/syndtr/[email protected]/leveldb/filter/bloom.go:86:13: internal compiler error: '(*bloomFilterGenerator).Generate': panic during lower while compiling (*bloomFilterGenerator).Generate:

runtime error: index out of range [1] with length 0

I'm using the latest version of go - go1.17.3

@sreeharisj23 Thanks for opening this issue. Would it be possible to provide the following information so that we can properly try to reproduce the problem:

• Platform (e.g., the output of uname -a)
• Go version (e.g., the output of go env)
• Command used to generate the bug (I suppose go install github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei@latest)?

Thanks!

I previously had the error with kali 2021.3. But after I installed kali 2021.4, the go install command worked without errors but nuclei wasn't installed in the system. Then I tried using the command:
git clone https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei.git;
cd nuclei/v2/cmd/nuclei;
go build;
mv nuclei /usr/local/bin/;
nuclei -version;

And this time it worked.

This is mainly due to PATH not set properly. After you install the packages using go install ... they will be located in a /go/bin/ folder. In my case, this go folder was located in my home directory i.e. at ~/go/bin/. So all I did was added this path to my ~/.profile and it worked.

Add this line to your ~/.profile:

export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin

Next run this command: source ~/.profile

Let me know if this works!
