pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py 

=======

You will need to use a virtual environment for the Python install if you are using an M2 Macbook with the following instructions in your CLI within the social-engineer-toolkit directory.

    # to install dependencies, run the following:
    python3 -m venv path/to/venv
    source path/to/venv/bin/activate
    python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
    # to install SET
    sudo python3 setup.py 

sudo apt install set -y

Kali Linux on Windows 10 is a minimal installation so it doesn't have any tools installed. You can easily install Social Engineer Toolkit on WSL/WSL2 without needing pip using the above command.

git clone https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit/ setoolkit/
cd setoolkit
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py
