Introduction

Katoolin is a collection of scripts for automating the installation of Kali linux tools in different platforms other than Kali linux, and installing Kali linux tools with Katoolin in other OSs or Windows Subsystem for Linux is always less secure than installing the same tools in Kali Linux. Kali Linux is named after the Hindu goddess of destruction which should give the user some indication that even Kali Linux itself is risky and difficult to manage, especially for new users.

Katoolin draws its tools from a variety of sources including apt and GitHub. Katoolin doesn't know anything about the platform that it is running on, so the safest way to use Katoolin is to install each tool the hard way one tool at a time, checking each time to see if that tool is included in the default Ubuntu repositories and if so installing it that way instead. When the installation is finished, the software sources that were added by Katoolin should be immediately disabled in order to prevent Katoolin from replacing packages that were installed from the default Ubuntu repositories with its own updated packages whenever Ubuntu software is updated.

Installation of Kali linux tools

(Re)install Katoolin as follows:

Open the terminal and type:
Make /usr/bin/katoolin executable.
Run Katoolin as follows and you will see the Katoolin interface:

^{View the categories of available software in katoolin interface}

Press 0 to install all Kali linux tools.

When you go to View Categories and then enter 0 for all, the installer will immediately return to where you were. Scroll up, and you'll see that a number of the packages can't be found. Those packages are no longer maintained or have been removed from the Kali repositories. Even with this issue, you'll still find a lot of the Kali software available for installation.

So the best option is to install Kali linux tools in a series of distinct steps. Just like if you want to install Forensic tools on your system, then choose its option from the category and then type 0 to install all forensics tools. If this still doesn't work, then you have to install whatever forensic tools that can be installed one package at a time.

This is why the Katoolin interface sometimes hangs when you try to install all of the Kali linux tools at once. Take the time of waiting for the server to respond to a request for a package that is not available and multiply it by how many unavailable Kali linux tools there are in the Katoolin repositories.

If you wish to go back to the main menu, type gohome in your katoolin interface. Now select the option 3 or 4 to install either the classicmenu indicator or the Kali menu. Press the y key to continue and then press Enter to start its setup.

Once you are done with installation of Kali tools using katoolin, you can quit by pressing the keyboard combination Ctrl+C and you will see the goodbye message.

shutdown requested....Goodbye...

Warning about updates after installing Kali linux tools

The LionSec Katoolin GitHub webpage clearly warns Katoolin users to be careful when updating software.

Before updating your system, please remove all Kali-linux repositories to avoid any kind of problem.

After using katoolin and adding the repositories , its safe to run sudo apt-get update, but do not use apt-get upgrade if you do, your gnome and desktop will fail to start.

In katoolin :

Add kali repositories & Update
Update your apt-get by katoolin or your terminal

Install all the tools you want, after that do the cleaning by removing kali repos from your sources.list and apt-key.

If any error occurs, it comes from the sources.list, meaning the package or tool is not designed/available for your Linux architecture or katoolin itself has to be updated, because repositories were changed by the owner.

Advice:

Keep in touch with katoolin developers.
Install aptitude:
then do a search for the requirements of the package candidates, for example:
read more about aptitude: What is the difference between dpkg and aptitude/apt-get?
Read about the difference between unable to locate package & no candidates: What does Package <package> has no installation candidate mean?

There is a step by step solution that avoids crashes here: Can I install Kali tools on Ubuntu?

In Ubuntu 16: edit file /usr/bin/katoolin and remove all references for the both packages: dff and webshag and save file.

Execute katoolin again - choose 1 and then 2 to update - after that type back and choose 2 and then type 0.

For me it still showed an error for usb-modeswitch for version 2.2.5+repack0-1ubuntu1, so I installed using this package from ubuntuupdates.org

After that I executed katoolin again - chose 1 and then 2 to update - after that type back and choose 2 and then 0 to begin installation.

I have faced the very same
Edit the file /usr/bin/katoolin (eg use sudo -H gedit usr/bin/katoolin) and remove those two packages, just search for text dff and webshag. Remove those two from apt-get commands too.

PlayOnLinux provides a point-and-click interface to automatically install and tweak Windows software on Linux. It’s like a package manager — but for Windows games and other applications on Linux.

We’ve covered using Wine to run Windows software on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions in the past. PlayOnLinux automates this tedious process for the applications it supports. It provides a list of applications you can install and automates each installation process as much as possible.

Installation

PlayOnLinux is in Ubuntu’s software repositories, so you can grab it from the Ubuntu Software Center or install it with the following command:

sudo apt-get install playonlinux

If you want the latest version, you can download it from the PlayOnLinux website. Download the .deb file for Ubuntu and double-click it to start the installation.

If you want to keep up-to-date with the latest version, run the four commands on the page to add the PlayOnLinux software repository to your system. New versions of PlayOnLinux will appear in Ubuntu’s Update Manager if you do this.

PlayonLinux uses Wine as its backend. Installing it will also install Wine and other required software on your system.

Getting Started

Once it’s installed, you’ll find PlayOnLinux in your applications menu.

PlayOnLinux starts with a wizard that automatically downloads any other required software, including the Microsoft core fonts.

Installing Applications

Once it’s done, click the Install button on the toolbar or select Install from the File menu.

Use the install window to browse available applications or search for applications. PlayOnLinux has more games than any other type of software — Linux has a lot of great alternatives to Windows software, but games are still a weak point.

Games aren’t the only category of software on offer, though. You’ll find Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Apple iTunes and Safari, Adobe Photoshop CS4, and Microsoft Office 2000, 2003, and 2007 in the list.

Click the Install button after selecting an application and you’ll see an installation wizard.

Depending on the application you selected, PlayOnLinux may automatically download the program’s installer, ask you to download and browse to the setup file, or have you insert the program’s CD or DVD into your computer’s disc drive.

Launching and Managing Applications

After Windows applications are installed, you’ll see them in the main PlayOnLinux window. You can launch them from the PlayOnLinux window or from the shortcuts on your desktop.

Use the Remove or Shortcut buttons on the toolbar to uninstall apps or create new shortcuts.

Wine Versions

Some applications only work with a specific version of Wine. PlayOnLinux automatically downloads and installs the appropriate version of Wine for each application, saving you the hassle.

You can view your installed versions of Wine from the Manage Wine Versions option under the Tools menu.

Other Features

Click the Configure button to easily perform common configuration tasks.

PlayOnLinux also includes several plugins. The Capture plug-in lets you record screen capture videos, the PlayOnLinux Vault lets you save and restore your installed applications, and the Wine Look plugin lets you change the theme Windows applications use.

If PlayOnLinux doesn’t have the application you want, you can try installing it yourself with Wine.
