I was trying to install katoolin to get all the Kali linux tools in Ubuntu 17.10. I have seen many tutorials describing same method, and I think I've done that exactly the same way, but something is not right, either in my system or I did something wrong while trying to install katoolin.

Solution 1

Simply, you can just run this command:

sudo apt-get install python 

or

sudo apt-get update python 

then run katoolin.

Solution 2

Simply run this:

sudo bash -c "test -e /usr/bin/python || (apt -qqy update && apt install -qy python-minimal)"

Then run the command katoolin.

It looks like you already have leftover files in /usr/bin/katoolin. Remove the katoolin directory and its contents recursively using this command: sudo rm -r /usr/bin/katoolin and try again. Please comment or edit your question and report any errors.

btw You are already root, so you don't need to type sudo katoolin - katoolin will do instead.
