Factor is a popular and powerful programming language designed to simplify programming by providing concise syntax, automatic garbage collection, and dynamic typing. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Factor on Kali Linux latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following:
Before we install Factor, it is recommended to update the system to the latest version to ensure that all required dependencies are up-to-date. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Factor requires some dependencies to be installed before it can be installed on the system. Run the following command to install Factor dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libsqlite3-dev libpcre3-dev libssl-dev libncurses5-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev
After installing the dependencies, we need to download the Factor source code. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
wget http://downloads.factorcode.org/releases/0.98/factor-linux-x86-64-0.98.tar.gz
This will download the Factor source code from the official website and save it to your system.
After downloading the Factor source code, we need to extract it to a preferred location on your system. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
tar xzf factor-linux-x86-64-0.98.tar.gz
Now that we have extracted the Factor source code, we can run it by navigating to the extracted directory and running the executable file. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
cd factor
./factor
This will start Factor on your Kali Linux system.
