Kali linux 2 lite missing tools

[z0lt]

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. Found a solution here.

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
