    Kali Kismet plugins on Raspberry Pi

    Hello, has anyone been able to get plugins to install properly on the latest Kali and Kismet builds? All the plugins seem to be looking for /usr/local/kismet/plugins/ but that directory is not created when its installed. I just did a fresh install of the Pi Kali build and installed Kismet fresh. It does not install or create /usr/local/kismet it seems instead its in /usr/share/kismet but still no plugins directory is created. The only thing in the folder is an httpd folder. When you make a plugins directory and try to install a plugin you get errors. I put in bold the errors that are consistent no matter the plugin. I could get it to work if I forced it, but I would rather ensure its installed properly and in the proper directory. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    make: pkg-config: Command not found
    make: pkg-config: Command not found
    make: pkg-config: Command not found
    make: pkg-config: Command not found
    make: pkg-config: Command not found
    echo "No kismet install found in pkgconfig, assuming /usr/local"
    No kismet install found in pkgconfig, assuming /usr/local

    plugindir="/usr/local/lib/kismet/"
    mkdir -p //kestrel
    /usr/bin/install -o root -g root -m 444 manifest.conf //kestrel/manifest.conf
    mkdir -p //kestrel/httpd
    cp -r httpd/* //kestrel/httpd


    These are all the locations where kismet are located on the fresh install.

    /usr/bin/kismet
    /usr/share/kismet
    /usr/share/doc/kismet
    /etc/kismet

    You need pkg-config package to compile this. You can notice instances of "make: pkg-config: Command not found"

    I get that. Outside of that though. I made the lines that I am having the issue with in bold. really these plugin make files just copy the httpd folder over to the plugins directory but I cant find where that is supposed to be. I think I got a step close I attempted to run it as a service and check the error log and it seems its looking for plugins in /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/kismet/ if anyone else is looking for that answer.

    The kismet site says this is supposed to be "where the ./config --datadir is set to" but I cant find out where that variable is set.

    I could probably get it working now by manually copy the files to that directory but I would like to do it properly.

    What plugin are you trying to use? Have you read their documentation?
