Environment
Operating system: ubuntu
Kernel: (‘uname -a’) Linux santhosh-KVM 5.0.0-29-generic #31~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 12 18:29:21 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Installation method / source:
gvm-cli 2.0.0 (API version 1.0.0)
As I am trying to install and run gvm-cli it can run only in non root user. But to make that it will try to read sock file of openvasmd which is under root.
But if I try to install openvasmd and scanner without root I am unable to do the same. Please help me to resolve this.
