Hey,
When I'm trying to run

[!] ERROR: this command could not be run

Running on MacOS
Thank you :)

Hi,
Can you show me how you are executing the command?
Thx

[stefins]

sudo perl niple.pl install

I have the same problem on kali 2020.4..
something is fishy...

perl nipe.pl start
Nipe must be run as root.

sudo perl nipe.pl start (runs)
sudo perl nipe.pl status
sometimes it connects , but mostly not, and I get this error:
[!] ERROR: sorry, it was not possible to establish a connection to the server.

if I run sudo perl nipe.pl restart
it connects and I get an ip

if I run sudo perl nipe.pl stop
sudo perl nipe.pl start it runs sometimes, maybe its because I run sudo perl niple.pl restart first ?

dont really get it ...

[stefins]

even for sudo perl nipe.pl start I'm getting the same output

[!] ERROR: this command could not be run

[psyl0c]

have you tried run "sudo perl nipe.pl restart" not start
then check if your connected with "sudo perl nipe.pl status"

@psyl0c

• Command sudo perl nipe.pl restart returns
  [!] ERROR: this command could not be run

• Command sudo perl nipe.pl status returns
  [!] ERROR: sorry, it was not possible to establish a connection to the server.

Hi @iamstefin, I will check the reason for these errors. This is very strange

Hi, it's happening also to me. Currently I'm running Nine on an Apple Silicon Mac, @iamstefin what is your Mac? This could be an Apple Silicon issue.
I tried to run Nipe through Rosetta 2 but nothing changes, every command I try (except from sudo perl nipe.pl status) it doesn't work and the terminal returns [!] ERROR: this command could not be run.
Also works perl nipe.pl for help. It's a very strange behavior, please help!

@htrgouvea Same issue for me as well. I am using macOS Catalina.

I tried running with both sudo and direct root account as well.

I took a quick look, in /lib/Nipe/Utils/Device.pm, the os config is determined based on /etc/os-release which is specific for Linux. I see also that later on it relies on iptables, which is also not available on OS X.

@htrgouvea let me know if you can use some help here

Hi folks,

I just published a new version of Nipe, can you test it and tell me if it works now?

If it doesn't work, can you give me more information? Like the distribution they are using or any other information they find pertinent?

Thanks!

Running on MacOS @htrgouvea

Seems it doesnt work on OSX. @htrgouvea Can you please confirm?

I got that error, I was running nipe on Kali in a VM (qemu) and NetworkManager didn't allow changes, so, I followed this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/826177/networkmanager-permissions-error-on-xenial and it worked as expected
