Can't Install Openvas on Kali
I encountered the same issue. The problem is that OpenVas is looking for Redis Socket in /tmp We need to change this location in OpenVas by editing the file /etc/openvas/openvassd.conf
The problem that in Kali Linux, OpenVas does not have file: /etc/openvas/openvassd.conf by default.
So I created this file and entered below content to overwrite the default value for Redis Server. kb_location=/var/run/redis/redis.sock
This fixed my issue. I have wrote complete tutorial on this site: https://waqasahmedkhan.com/openvas-bug-in-kali-linux-2017-3-5/

I've can't solve this problem. Trying to install Openvas on Kali. I'm surprised by the amount of problems I'm facing to install a program on this OS.
I've used
apt-get install openvas
Done. Then I used
openvas-check-setup
Getting this error:
ERROR: redis-server is not running or not listening on socket: /tmp/redis.sock FIX: You should start the redis-server or configure it to listen on socket: /tmp/redis.sock
I don't have a redis.sock on tmp folder. I tried to fix it by everything I found online.
