Msfconsole not loadingon a new install

I have Kali Linux installed on Virtual Box.. and have Metasploitable on another machine..

I have started with

1. service postgresql start
2. verified that PostgreSQL is running by checking the output of ss -ant and making sure that port 5432 is listening.
3. service metasploit start

Once this is complete I type msfconsole and nothing happens..

I have checked in /opt/metasploit and the following folders are in there

• app
• createuser
• deleteuser
• apps
• diagnostics_logs.sh
• diagnostics_shell
• msfpro
• properties.ini
• resetpw
• ruby
• run.sh
• scripts

Anything else I can do?
