Getting Started
Now that you have gophish installed, you’re ready to run the software. To launch gophish, open a command shell and navigate to the directory the gophish binary is located.
Then, execute the gophish binary. You will see some informational output showing both the admin and phishing web servers starting up, as well as the database being created. This output will tell you the port numbers you can use to connect to the web interfaces.
If you're running a version of Gophish after v0.10.1, then temporary admin credentials are printed in these logs which you can use to login.

If your phishing server is set to run on TCP port 80, then you may need to run Gophish as an administrator so that it can bind to the privileged port.
After Gophish starts up, you can open a browser and navigate to https://127.0.0.1:3333 to reach the login page.
For versions of Gophish > 0.10.1, the temporary administrator credentials are printed in the logs when you first execute the Gophish binary. For versions of Gophish <= 0.10.1, the default credentials are:
Username: admin
Password: gophish
Login Screen
If you're using a version of Gophish > 0.10.1, then you will be required to reset your password after logging in for the first time.
If you're running a version of Gophish newer than v0.10.1 and you need to set a default administrator password, you can do so by setting the
GOPHISH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable.You will still be required to change your password after logging in for the first time.
