Kali linux is a debian based and its not easy to configure it on a typical PC. If the machine is UEFI based, then Kali is tough to customize.

So what is the alternative....? Here is the answer: Katoolin

Its the name of the package system for installing the entire kali linux tools (Penetration Testing) in Ubuntu or Debian based system.

Here I am trying to install inside my Linux Mint

OS Used: Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya
Prequisites: Python 2.7
Always perform these steps after the installation of ubuntu or Linux Mint

$] sudo apt update
$] sudo apt install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev
$] sudo apt install git
$] git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git
$] sudo cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin
$] sudo katoolin

 This will give various options as shown below

    I had the same error. I went to another site, and it mentioned that repository needs to be universal.

    $] sudo add-apt-repository universe

    The site also mentioned that you have to make the file executable.

    $] sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/katoolin

    For me to make this work:
    $] sudo apt update
    $] sudo apt install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev
    $] sudo apt install git
    $] git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git

    added: $] sudo add-apt-repository universe

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

    added: $] sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/katoolin

    $] sudo katoolin


    The site also has a decent presentation of how to navigate once you are in Katoolin.

    I hope that helps.

    The steps are supposed to be like the following, that's why you got an error.
    $] sudo apt update
    $] sudo apt install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev
    $] sudo apt install git
    $] git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git
    $] sudo cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin
    $] chmod +x /usr/bin/katoolin
    $] sudo katoolin

Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

By
Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the ...
