Metasploit was working fine until this morning when I updated it with msfupdate, then all went to heck.

Typing msfconsole Now gives me this error:

Could not find nokogiri-1.6.8 in any of the sources
Run bundle install to install missing gems.

I went and typed bundle install. It was going fine until this happened:

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.6.8), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.8' succeeds before bundling.

I started searching and came across this, which suggested that I should run bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries

But again, nothing. I also tried gem install nokogiri -v 1.6.8. I also tried even older versions: gem install nokogiri -v 1.6.0.

I'm using Kali.

EDIT: I think the solution is that I should reinstall Kali; One thing i learned from all this is to NEVER update MSF :D

@RUser98 --

I found this answer on the Unix Stack Exchange site maybe it will help you?

If you get a error installing nokogiri-1.6.8 try to:

sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev --yes

Source: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/298159

I've also had numerous issues with installing/updating Metasploit on Kali each time something new so I feel your pain

  • Up voted because this caused `bundle install` to work just fine, But I'm still getting errors on running `msfconsole` – marc_s Sep 01 '16 at 00:53
  • It might still be helpful to others if you posted the error and solution ;) Either way nice work on fixing it! – BanjoFox Sep 02 '16 at 16:35

If you're having this problem On MacOS when trying to install Nokogiri, you can run xcode-select --install and try again :)

First i tried these:-

sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo gem install nokogiri -v '1.10.7' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'

Once the nogogiri gem was installed, I went into the metasploit-framework directory in my case was:-

cd /usr/share/metasploit-framework and typed:-

sudo bundle install

Everything went on nicely till i encountered a 'pg' gem installation error. This solves the error:-

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
sudo gem install pg -v '0.21.0' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'
sudo bundle install

And yet again I encountered another gem installation error named 'pcaprub'

This Solves it:-

sudo apt install libpcap-dev
sudo gem install pcaprub -v '0.13.0' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'
sudo bundle install

Okay it's getting really frustrating now as yet again another error has occurred this time it was the 'sqlite3' gem which can be fixed by:-

sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
sudo gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.13' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'
sudo bundle install

Ah! finally Metasploit is Up and Running.

Bundle complete! 14 Gemfile dependencies, 144 gems now installed.
