)
If you already have an existing Kali Linux installation, you can do a quick update:
kali @ kali: ~ $ echo "deb http://http.kali.org/ ori main non-free contribution run" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list times @ times: ~ $ times @ times: ~ $ sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade times @ times: ~ $ times @ times: ~ $ [-f / var / run / reboot-required] && sudo reboot ori @ ori: ~ $
