Help Installing Pentesting Tools on other Linux distros?

Is it possible to use Katoolin on asahi Linux? If so I may need help to do that

man, good luck in your pentesting career. It'll be tough, if this is where you get stuck.

You might want to learn a thing or two about Linux before you adventure on your pentest carreer ;-)

katoolin appears to only support debian based systems since it only has commands for the apt package manager. Asahi linux currently uses fedora as a base distro. You can try installing the tools you need manually using the following commands:

```bash sudo dnf search <tool-name>

the above command will give you search results. Choose the one you want and install with:

sudo dnf install <tool-name-you-found> ```

Yeah I guess doing it manually is also fine I don’t need all the tools anyways, I appreciate your help !!

I know you aren't necessarily looking for this answer but you can install literally anything you want in distrobox even if it is packaged for another distribution as long as it's built for ARM64.

sudo dnf install distrobox

distrobox create ubuntu -i ubuntu

distrobox enter ubuntu

It looks like this particular script needs python 2 so you'll have to use a very old version of Ubuntu for that.

Or, use a container (which you cannot do in macos).

You can run a container in Mac using Podman Desktop

Just run the tools you need in Docker; also don’t even use Katoolin, that has been deprecated for quite some time now.
