🤷‍♂️ About

Kality is a neat package manager I put together in C++ to make it easier for you to install tools from the Kali Linux repository on any Debian-based system. It works by adding the Kali repo to your APT sources with a low priority, this lets you access those kali tools while avoiding version clashes with similar packages from your main distribution. Feel free to give it a try!

There's also a TODO file where I've outlined plans to further optimize this tool, so feel free to check it out. If you're interested in contributing, well that's really great, check out the contributing guidelines to know more.

Important

You should try it out in a virtual machine (VM) first, it's usually fine, there's still a 1% chance it could mess up your system. Just a heads up.

🛠️ Prerequisites

To compile and to ensure proper working of the script, you need to have the following packages installed on your system:

sudo apt install g++ make wget

🚀 Compilation and Installation

First, clone the kality repository and navigate into it.

git clone https://github.com/VandalByte/kality.git

Now, compile the code and place the binary file in /usr/local/bin/ for system-wide access.

sudo g++ kality.cpp -o /usr/local/bin/kality

Now, give executable permission to the file.

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kality

Now run the update to install the keyring to the system.

kality update

You're all set! Check it out.

📋 How to use?

For the current release you can install, remove and update packages with kality.

I'm still trying to finish up my TODO list and add the rest of the functions.
