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.

  • 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. – karel Mar 23 '18 at 05:05
  • btw You are already root, so you don't need to type `sudo katoolin` - `katoolin` will do instead. – karel Mar 23 '18 at 05:19

Simply run this:

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

Then run the command katoolin.

Simply, you can just run this command:

sudo apt-get install python

or

sudo apt-get update python

then run katoolin.

In Ubuntu 22.04. You have to install python2

sudo apt-get install python2

Then open the file katoolin.py in nano or gedit and change

#!/usr/bin/python

for

#!/usr/bin/python3

then make the cp command from the actual directory to /usr/bin/katoolin.py

sudo cp katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin.py

and with that you should be okay
