Getting Started - Fixint SET

You might've noticed by now that whenever you do an apt-get update or upgrade, or by some other means, you have encountered an error regarding SET - the social engineering toolkit.
I will show you how to fix it.

The problem with set is that it has moved to a new repository and the pre-compiled version on BackTrack 5 R3 encounters errors because of that.
So, first of all, we will remove the SET package installed on our system:

Open up terminal and type:
dpkg -r set
To make sure it was erased, cd to:
/pentest/exploits
and list all files and directories:
ls
If you see a folder named "set", remove it:
rm -rf set
Now we need to install SET from the new repisitory.
Staying in /pentest/exploits, type in terminal:
git clone https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit/ set/
Wait for the installation to finish and you're done.
SET should work by simply typing "set" into your terminal, however, if it does not work, you could always run it by going into:
/pentest/exploits/set
From terminal, and then typing:
./setoolkit
That's it. SET is configured and functioning now.
