install.sh - ImportError: cannot import name main

[ghost]

Empire Version

2.3.0

OS Information (Linux flavor, Python version)

Ubuntu 17.10 x86_64
Python 2.7.14

Expected behavior and description of the error, including any actions taken immediately prior to the error. The more detail the better.

1.Upon running install.sh script installs pip-10.0.1 which then causes
this error: 'ImportError: cannot import name main' which the script then fails to continue the installation
2.I tried installing other pip packages but I still reproduce the same error,
only fix I was able to do was to reinstall with this command.
sudo python -m pip uninstall pip && sudo apt install python-pip --reinstall
And install the required pip packages via the requirements.txt

I think you must execute install.sh with root permission, means run command " sudo ./install.sh"
before that use "sudo install -r requirements.txt" command

Tried doing so before, I was able to produce the same error.
pypa/pip#5240
pypa/pip#5221

Here are some issues that are related to my case.

@dangwasec @johncole2017 I'm unable to reproduce the issue you guys are having. Ubuntu 17 and Empire 2.5. I didn't receive any errors when running the install script as root.

Can you guys update to the latest version of Empire and try the installer?

hey @dangwasec @johncole2017, I was unable to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 17 and Empire 2.5/master. Can you try upgrading to the latest version and running the installer again?

[johncole2017]

[xorrior]

@ghost Have you tried updating to the latest version and running the installer as root?

the error is due to pip upgrading with version > to 9.x i have same issue multiple times with other python script which upgrade pip before install all it need... to fix this you must sudo rm -vrf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip
and after sudo apt install --reinstall python-pip and remove all the upgrade pip in the installation script of empire and launch it again and thtas it
