I've installed nmap on macOS. I'm not on Linux, I couldn't find the script directory. I ran
sudo nmap -sV --script vulners 69.164.220.111
I kept getting the following error:
Starting Nmap 6.49BETA4 ( https://nmap.org  ) at 2020-01-07 14:35 EST
NSE: failed to initialize the script engine:
/usr/local/bin/../share/nmap/nse_main.lua:801: 'vulners' did not match a category, filename, or directory
stack traceback:

        /usr/local/bin/../share/nmap/nse_main.lua:801: in function 'get_chosen_scripts'
        /usr/local/bin/../share/nmap/nse_main.lua:1249: in main chunk


QUITTING!
Do you know what I did wrong?
