Katoolin is a script that helps to install Kali Linux tools on your Linux distribution of choice. For those of us who like to use penetration testing tools provided by Kali Linux development team can effectively do that on their preferred Linux distribution by using Katoolin.
In this tutorial we are going to look at steps to install Katoolin on Debian based derivatives.
Major Features of Katoolin
- Adding Kali Linux repositories.
- Removing Kali Linux repositories.
- Installing Kali Linux tools.
Requirements
Requirements for installing and using Katoolin.
- An operating system for this case we are using Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.
- Python 2.7
Installing Katoolin
To install Katoolin run the following commands.
# apt-get install git # git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git && cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin
Sample Output
cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin Cloning into 'katoolin'... remote: Counting objects: 52, done. remote: Total 52 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 52 Unpacking objects: 100% (52/52), done. Checking connectivity... done.
Then make /usr/bin/katoolin executable by running the command below.
# chmod +x /usr/bin/katoolin
Now you can run Katoolin as follows.
# katoolin
The output below shows the interface of Katoolin when you run the command.
Sample Output

As you can see it provides a menu from which you can make selections of what you want to do.
Incase the above way of installation fails, you also can try the following steps.
Go to https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git page download the zip file and extract it.
# wget https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin/archive/master.zip # unzip master.zip
After extracting, you should be able to find katoolin.py script. Run katoolin.py command, you will be able to view the output similar to above.
# cd katoolin-master/ # chmod 755 katoolin.py # ./katoolin.py
How do I use Katoolin?
To add Kali Linux repositories and update repositories, select option 1 from the Menu.
1) Add Kali repositories & Update 2) View Categories 3) Install classicmenu indicator 4) Install Kali menu 5) Help kat > 1 1) Add kali linux repositories 2) Update 3) Remove all kali linux repositories 4) View the contents of sources.list file What do you want to do ?> 1

Hello,
I have MX Linux 21.3 edition on my computer.
When I run:
What Can I do, please?
I have installed Python, Python2, and Python3.
Thank you…
I had problems opening as well. I used to rewrite line 1 to add a 2 to python and it started with no problem.
I’m not sure this is still working with Debian, it may just be because it isn’t able to locate a lot of the packages it needs during the installation though, can anyone confirm if this works with the current Debian release
@James
We need to check the requirements for the installing on the latest version of Debian before we can confirm. But thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Hey I tried installing this recently on my debian distro and it goes through the motions like its going to install but when it actually comes to the installation it gives a bunch of errors saying certain packages were missing so they were ignored or old ones were used.
So, I kinda assumed their was gonna be some packages that needed to be fixed but when i went to the synaptic package manager and checked the upgrade-able packages, literally every single needed package for these tools to work was listed as needing to be upgraded, and of course you couldnt upgrade anything without removing pretty much every single necessary package for the debian OS
I installed Katoolin and have it running, but every time I try to download a certain category on it, it tells me: “Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (13: Permission denied)“.
@Eme
Just delete the lock file like this.
Then try once more.
Thanks for your documents. It is good and helps me to install and also it’s working.
@Azeze
Glad to know that it is working for you, thanks for the feedback.
It’s Perfectly Working For Me :)
@Ticho
Oh, that’s great. Thanks for the feedback.
I have attempted the 2nd method to install Katoolin as mentioned above. I was able to download the master.zip, unzip it, change directory, do the chmod command successfully. However, when I go to type the run command I get the following error:
bash: ./katoolin.py: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory.
I am new to Linux, and this is a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10, and I have administrator rights to the system. Any help is “greatly” appreciated.
Hey Tim,
First install python7 in your system
And then try again
This may work for you
Sir, I am having a problem, while installing any or all by ” 0″ it is showing E: unable to locate package……
sir please help me out..
@harshit
You’ve probably not added the required repositories, that is why the package can’t be found, resulting into this error.
Sir, the main problem I am having in all Linux system that I can’t move my cursor freely like that in windows.
could you please help me out.
Can i install this on Lubuntu? Also how much space does it require? I don’t need all of the tools but still.
@stanislav
Sure, it is built for Ubuntu systems, so it should work in Lubuntu. And it requires a reasonable amount of space depending on the total number of packages(Kali security tools) available.
Hey when i installed setools then there were libc6:armhf problem
What should i do now please reply fast and i also can’t update or install any thing
@Dhrumil
Please forward the issue to the developers of Katoolin: https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin for exhaustive help.
Hey Aron Kili,
Problem solved, First I install Kali repository by katoolin and changed with Kali sana repository by leafpad and then apt-get update.
And I want to say everyone that please do as above if you have any problem like me.
Thx Aaron for responding me..
@Dhrumil
Oh, this is good, many thanks for sharing the solution with us, i believe everyone facing the same issue will use it in the future.
After I install Kali menu in Ubuntu through katoolin, my computer isn’t responding me, whenever i restart and try to use my computer it just shows the grub menu and try to boot as usual but it shows something like kali-ubuntu loading and doesn’t actually finish this process.
I really don’t know what has happened to my computer, i cant even use my normal Ubuntu now, i could do is northing. please help me, i need my computer performance back……..
@liang
Sorry to learn about this, i hope your grub still works to enable access to recovery mode, that is where you can definitely start from. Also try to ask on the various Ubuntu forums how to restore a broken Ubuntu system for in-depth insights.
i have a problem with installing the kali tools (and the kali manu) by the tools its saying E: Unable to locate package, and by the kali manu its says E: Unable to locate package kali-menu. i have looked at the other command but nothing is working so far……. pleas help me a bit, i am new to Ubuntu
When i type 0 to install all tools says unable to find package…. I am sure i did everything correctly until this point…
@John
Try to view the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list file and make sure that you have added and updated the Kali repositories.
Or else, follow the steps once more.
one of the things that you need to do is to set up your preferences as to what packages take priority over others.
you have to set up your /etc/apt/preferences.d/ (in my LMDE i have two files in there official-extra-repositories.pref and official-package-repositories.pref)
make sure that you set the priority of the kali packages to a lower number then your main distributions, this is mine –
cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/official-package-repositories.pref
Package: *
Pin: origin live.linuxmint.com
Pin-Priority: 750
Package: *
Pin: release o=linuxmint,c=upstream
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: *
Pin: release o=Kali
Pin-Priority: 400
(comment out the line in /etc/apt/sources.list that has to do with kali if you are following the rest of this. you don’t want apt complaining about doubles)
and then this is from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ –
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com betsy main upstream import
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://extra.linuxmint.com betsy main

take a look at ‘man apt_preferences’ at about line 207 –
Determination of Package Version and Distribution Properties
before you do an ‘upgrade’, make sure that you do this or you will toast out your system as others are saying.
this is sometimes called ‘pinning’
you can also find this in the ‘Debian Handbook’ section 6.2.6. you probably have it installed already. check /usr/share/doc/debian-handbook/
I’m surprised that this method didn’t get written out in this how-to. I’ll have to drop a line on git-hub to have them update it.
hope this helps some.
p.s. i didn’t do anything with installing the menus, just learning pen testing so i can install the packages as they come up in the books that I’m reading.
@em
Your contribution has actually brought it to our attention, so thanks a lot for reaching us and reminding us of this useful method.
this will break your gnome or kde if your not carefull!
i suggest editting the file and replace all the “apt-get -y” with “apt-get” and look for yourself what is installable and what not, after installing wht you need, remove the kali sources again or find a way to prevent updating from them instead of the ubuntu repos.
Same as josh. After installation my gnome was gone …
@Nick
That is so regrettable, however, as i have mentioned somewhere in the previous comments, installation of this tools has resulted into undesired system breakages for many users. Sorry about your situation but you can share your ordeal with the developers of the tool at the Github repository: https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git for any suggestions and possible improvements.
This tool will not only install Kali tools, but will remove your display manager, KDE in my case, which did not go over well. stear clear of this script if you’re smart.
@josh
There have been a lot of complains about this script, if you can read the previous comments below, however, you can get your thoughts to the writers of the script on the Katoolin Github repository: https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin. Thanks for giving us your experience with it and also thoughts about it.
how to use that tools after installed? i have installed armitage from katoolin then i don’t know where the armitage is?
@riivai
You can search for installed tools from the Ubuntu dashboard that is if you installed it in Ubuntu or from the command line.
@Herro Rarrah
Sorry about that, it is always safer to test in virtual machine before installing on your work machine. Above all, thanks for the feedback and i hope you recover from that.
This broke my entire debian! beware!
In katoolin I successfully done everything but when I m going to install tool its says unable to locate package ..I think Kali repository not set well but I don’t know how to set Kali repository manually ..cannu pls tell me the proper way to set Kali repository well…?? Thank u

Dude am getting this error when i install all wireless tools..
I tried
apt-get -finstall but it ain’t worked.. and how to add these tools in the classic menu indicator as when i install and opened that i found no kali toolsTry to upgrade your current version of LibreOffice independently, before installing Katoolin, if it still fails then let me know. This is important please, and give me feedback.
Please give me code to update libre office or can i update using the software manager?
@Mohamed,
Why you need to code to update libreOffice, you can directly update from software manager or via yum or apt package manager.
If you meant commands, then use these in that order.
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install libreoffice
As @Ravi mentioned, you can also update from Software manager after running the first command.
no man the same dependency problem after updating libre office am in linux mint kde the latest version plz help me i am installing each tool one by one
Try to update your system repository list:
sudo apt-get update
And install the dependency as follows:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-style-oxygen
If this does not help, then seek more help from the LibreOffice and Ubuntu Forums.
I was in the middle of installing it and I was given this output:
“chmod: cannot access ‘/usr/bin/katoolin’: No such file or directory
Try to download it from here: https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin and move into download folders and execute:
cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin
then:
chmod +x /usr/bin/katoolin
its asking for username while installing katoolin
That is a rear case, i do not know which distro you are using but if required then provide your username
After I add kali linux repositories, and update,
“mana-toolkit” package still not found.
(Ubuntu 14.04)
Can you please provide the output after updating….that could help in getting the problem.
are u sure everything will work fine, if u add debian repositories to ubuntu based system.. wont i have hardware failure and update mix match
It normally depends on how you handle your system, if you understand how to include repositories and how to use Kali tools then it should work fine.
If i install the kali menu in unity, will i loose my current menu items
You probably will lose your menu items because of the new menu settings.
Did you add the Kali repositories to your system? That could be the problem, try to do that and see what happens.

Dumb question, no doubt, but how do you run these packages once they’re installed?
Try searching form the terminal or the dash board search
This is amazing I originally had Kali Linux on my computer but it was to confusing and wasn’t smooth and it didn’t look good, so I got Ubuntu but I still wanted the Kali applications on Ubuntu for white hat hacking.
Thank you!!

Welcome and thank you for reading and liking the article
u r really amazing very thanks for this also could you please let me know if we can install MetaSploit in katoolin
@Anjali
Yes, just check it under the available category of tools.
thanks for this!

I lost some inbuilt packages like libreoffice and its dependancies when i added those repositories. How do i reinstall them back without reinstalling the Operating System?
@Amos
Which distro are you using?
How can I use this on Ubuntu Gnome 15.10? I’ve tried but only got a messed up Gnome boot without the actual tools
@NK
You need to reinstall Ubuntu 15.01 try it out again for better results, fix the broken system may not lead to good performance.
how can I remove all the kali packages I have installed ??
@ahmedchioua
One problem i have discovered with katoolin is that the developers have not provided the functionality of removing the Kali packages. The best idea to have a fully functional system without Kali tools is to resinstall the Operating system.
hi there,
I installed Katoolin on Debian, but my menu is all messed up. How can I uninstall katoolin and restore my menu back to normal
regards
TK
@TK
You can resintall Debian to have a clear system free of Katoolin and Kali tools.

@susu
Their are many categories listed after selecting option 2 on the main menu, try to check the list and isolate metasploit and then install it.
how do I uninstall katoolin tools and the menu most especially
Would you recommend leaving the Kali repositories in after installation of the packages for future updates or would it be safer to remove them?
I am using Kubuntu 14.04
@Hendrik
As you have mentioned if you want to update the packages in future then i would recommend leaving the repository, but this may affect other Ubuntu packages when you run an update and upgrade of your system. This is because some of the updates will be from Debian repositories as supported by Kali.
How can I make this work on Linux Mint?
I tried to install it and I got an erro like this:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6: libc6:i386:
Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f
I have tried already to clean the repositories using commands like:
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg –configure -a
I guess the only way to fix it is to remove the repositories. Is there any way to install it over Mint without getting this inconsistencies?
@Asher Davila
Try to deal with the dependency issues first by running the command dpkg – -force-all -i libc6-dev-i386 and try to install it again. In case of any more errors, please let me know.

Aaron,
After I load Katoolin, and I choose option 1 to install the Kali repositories and Update, I get this message:sh: 1: cannot create /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied.
I am using Ubuntu 14.04
Thanks for your help.
@Carlos
Try to load it with root privileges and see what happens.

@marco if you are asking about installing kaoolin in Ubuntu 14.04, then follow these steps
Intsall git if you do not have it installed:
$ apt-get install git
Then clone katoolin.git form github:
$ git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git
Copy katoolin.py from the katoolin directory to a directory(/usr/bin/) in your $PATH variable:
$ cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin
Lastly make the installed python script executable:
$ chmod +x /usr/bin/katoolin
You need to follow the guide to use it.

thanks for tutorial.
@Sarvesh which distro are you using?
Not working on ubuntu 14.04.
It works, may be you can point out what does not work.
awesome !! Installing kali tools one by one is a real headache. I’m going to save lots of time after my next OS format, again !
Thanks
I just love these distro specific articles
