[root-boy]

try these commands and give us their output:

which john

find / -name john

[aerokid240]

If the above suggestions do not work, check your PATH variable "echo $PATH". John is located at /usr/sbin/john, so make sure /usr/sbin is in the path variable.

John requires root priveleges.

[KORG]

Seems, even after install to hdd, kali need to be run from root?

[CleanZombie]

Almost all the tools in Kali will require you to run them as Root.
