Let’s get VSCode up and running on Kali. On the download page, grab the .deb file.

Choose ‘Save File’ this time.

cd to your Downloads folder and you should see the .deb file.

Most students are used to using apt install X_Package to install applications. Here is what the ‘apt’ program does:

• It checks the configured repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list
• It downloads a .deb found on a site there.
• It runs the ‘dpkg’ command.

Many times you’ll find you need to download a .deb file like this that isn’t readily available via the default apt repositories. Once the download is complete, we just need to run the ‘dpkg’ command to install the package like this:

dpkg -i packagename 

Now a search will turn it up.

Open a new file in VSCode

Call it program1.py

Create a folder called program1
