root@kali:~#
try these commands and give us their output:
Code:which john
Code:find / -name john
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. :)
Seems, even after install to hdd, kali need to be run from root?
Almost all the tools in Kali will require you to run them as Root.
Its working for me and i just installed Kali Linux but yes u need to be root
