[SOLVED] I can't install Codelite on kali linux

Issue

I am trying to install Codelite compiler on kali linux but I can't. I tried to install gtk 3+ but it doesn't work with that either ... I don't know what to do anymore, I'm desperate.

Commands I typed:

sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://repos.codelite.org/CodeLite.asc

=

Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key (8)).
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.9KZU1WEkrx/gpg.1.sh --fetch-keys http://repos.codelite.org/CodeLite.asc
gpg: key request from 'http://repos.codelite.org/CodeLite.asc'
gpg: key 6856E1DB1AC82609: "David Hart (codelite key) <[email protected]>" unchanged
gpg: Total number examined: 1
gpg: unedited: 1

//

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://repos.codelite.org/ubuntu/ buster devel'

= nothing

//

sudo apt-get install codelite

Solution

You are trying to install Codelite from a software source that is specific to Debian buster (Debian 10), however the version of Kali Linux that you are using is based on the next version of Debian, Debian bullseye, so you are getting an unmet dependencies error message when trying to install it. The solution to this problem is to install a version of Codelite that is compatible with the same version of Debian that your Kali Linux is based on.

Codelite IDE is a package in the repositories of the current stable version of Debian bullseye (Debian 11). You can use apt to install this package. To install this package in Kali Linux open the terminal and type:

sudo apt update  
sudo apt install codelite codelite-plugins
