3. Start the server

After our package is installed a new service will be added to your systemd.

sudo service faraday-server start

Note: for first-time use, you need to execute faraday-manage initdb

You can check the status with:

sudo service faraday-server status

Make sure you execute faraday-manage status-check to ensure that everything is working:

I followed the instructions above but running into another issues where apt won't install Faraday manually due to other packages that are installed by default.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kali-linux-default : Depends: faraday but it is not installable
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
