View Full Version : Kali linux 2 lite missing tools
I just installed kali linux 2 lite and all the tools missing except nmap/sqlmap/ncat.
Is that right ? any way to get all the tools installed ? :/
Yup. This is correct.
Kali Light is 1GB in size.
Kali is 3GB is in size (the extra 2GB is mostly the tools).
If you wish to get the 'standard' tools - you can install it via the meta packages.
More information:

+ http://tools.kali.org/kali-metapackages
In short:
By running apt-get install kali-linux-full, you will upgrade the tool from from Kali Light to Kali, and still have XFCE rather than GNOME.

Hey P4tryck95,
I don't know about your "Bus error" but I had a similar problem (meta packages are not found via apt-get) and I guess I'm not the only one (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?20365-Kali-mini-help-Missing-packages-How-to-upgrade-to-full). Found a solution here (http://kalisana-2.blogspot.com.es/2015/08/install-packages-you-want-in-kali-linux.html).
1. Make sure you have correct repository.
2. Backup you sources.list:
mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_BAK
3. Edit your source file:
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
4. Paste into /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
5. Update:
apt-get update
6. You can search/install meta-packages via apt-get now:
apt-cache search kali meta
