Metasploit doesnt work after installation from metasploit-3.4.0-4.1.noarach.rpm, is there a better source for instaling it on leap?
output that i get after running
msfconsole

I was able to install the latest metasploit using the Project’s installer from rapd7.com
Go to this webpage
http://www.rapid7.com/products/metasploit/download.jsp
Click on the Download button for the Community version,
Fill out the info they want about you,
Click to download the 64-bit Linux installer.
When the installer has downloaded, make the binary executable and run it, I recommend installing to its default location at /opt/ and accepting the option to set up as a service (start on boot).
You’ll immediately be prompted to configure a self-signed certificate for web access (I recommend accepting defaults unless your website has a network-resolvable name).
After download, installing and configuring, I found I had to do a complete system reboot. Although setting up the metasploit service is likely done correctly, it’s not running correctly at first. After reboot, you can verify it’s running
systemctl status metasploit.service
The webserver stub will be running automatically, so you should be able to open up a website using the name described in your self-signed certificate to log into your metasploit.
HTH,
