Getting ready

Either you can have a separate installation of Kali Linux on your hard disk, or you can also use it over a host on a virtual machine. The installation process is simple and the same as installing any Linux-based operating system.

To set up a Metasploit development environment on Kali Linux or any Debian-based Linux environment, you can  use the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install autoconf bison build-essential curl git-core libapr1 libaprutil1 libcurl4-openssl-dev libgmp3-dev libpcap-dev libpq-dev libreadline6-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libsvn1 libtool libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libyaml-dev locate ncurses-dev openssl postgresql postgresql-contrib wget xsel zlib1g zlib1g-dev
curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework.git
sudo chown -R `whoami` /opt/metasploit-framework
cd metasploit-framework
rvm --install $(cat .ruby-version)
gem install bundler
bundle install
