# Error: Can't open perl script

If you run a scan, try to update your Nikto database, or check Nikto's component versions and get an error that reads Can't open perl script "/usr/local/nikto/nikto.pl": No such file or directory, then MacNikto can't find the Nikto install. To fix, reinstall MacNikto.

Note that you cannot simply copy the MacNikto application to another machine. You must run the MacNikto installer to ensure both the MacNikto application and the required Nikto Perl scripts and configuration files are available.
