Need some help with a Kali linux
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you try apt update and apt search? Is it in the repositories you’re searching? Do you need to add a repository and/or build it from GitHub?
The reason Kali is a meme is because it’s intended for professionals but often used by newbies, and you’re asking a rather basic question about package management.
Will run apt update, just didn't think to was needed cos it was a new iso.
I'm not very technical. Not good with terminals
You’re running a live image, so the list of packages in the external repositories may be blank depending on how Kali does its defaults. Having apt fetch a package list is a very easy first troubleshooting step.
