Pacman kali linux install

Playing Games on Kali Linux

The corona-virus pandemic has put a wall on being social. We thought this would be a great time to learn new things on ethical hacking and cybersecurity, because we are in homes and have lots of free time.

But how much more will we learn, sometimes things are getting boring. Thinks to play games on Kali Linux ? Gaming on Linux ?

Kali Linux is for gaming?

Approximately 2% of computer users use Linux that’s why game companies didn’t focus on Linux. So Linux is not for hardcore gaming and Kali is obviously not made for gaming. We all know that, it is made for cybersecurity and digital forensic.
But many users use Kali Linux as a full time OS after the default non-root update comes in 2020. Non-root update comes for this, but as a full time OS there should be some games for time pass. Our listed games can be played on other Debian based Linux distributions like Ubuntu. There is a process to play Windows games in Linux using wine tool, but here we discuss about direct installation.

Some awesome games for Kali Linux

Minecraft

Minecraft is a very popular game from Mojang and we don’t think it requires any introduction. Yes, we can play this addictive game in our Kali Linux system.

We just need to download the Minecraft.deb file from this official link. After download finished we need to open our terminal and move to the downloaded ( cd Downloads by default) location and run following command:

sudo apt install ./Minecraft.deb

It will starts the installation process and after installation finished we can run Minecraft searching on Whisker menu like following screenshot:

Or we can use minecraft-launcher command in terminal. Yoo! We just finished installing Minecraft on Kali Linux. Now we just need to login and enjoy (beware from Enderman).

Torcs

TORCS (The Open Racing Car Simulator) is a pretty cool game for racing game lovers. Torcs can be played as just a standard racing game, where the player drives around the tracks trying to get first position, but an alternative usage is as a platform to develop an artificial intelligence driver that can drive itself through Torcs’s tracks.

We can develop our own AI driver (also called a robot) in C or C++. Torcs is programmed to enable pre-programmed AI drivers to race against one another.

Single-player races range from practice runs to championships, and there is a split-screen multi-player mode for up to 4 players. To set up this with multi-monitor read this.

This game supports keyboard, mouse, joystick, and steering wheel all type of inputs.

We can install this game by using following command:

sudo apt-get install torcs

This is a big download (approx half GB) so it will take a little bit time to install depending on our internet connection. After installation process is done we can play torcs by using following command:

Gnome-Chess

The game of chess is over 1300 years old and is one of the most popular board games in the world. We can easily install chess in our Kali Linux and enjoy it.
To install gnome-chess we simply use apt-get install command:

sudo apt-get install gnome-chess

After installing it we can open it by just typing gnome-chess in the terminal.

Pacman

Old is Gold. Pacman is the real king of arcade gaming. We can easily install Pacman in our Kali Linux by using following command:

sudo apt-get install pacman4console

Note: We can’t run pacman ( pacman4console ) in small terminal window. It would be better to maximize terminal before run pacman4console command.

Tetris

This makes nostalgic. This addictive puzzle game can be played in our Kali Linux’s terminal window. First we need to download it from here.

It will be downloaded on our downloads folder now to decompress it we use following commands:

cd Downloads && tar -xvf vitetris*.tar.gz

This game has 2 player mode with controller support.

There is another easy way to install Tetris game on Linux. We just need to type following command to install it:

sudo apt-get install quadrapassel

Then type quadrapassel in terminal to play it.

Quadrapassel is a clone of Tetris with GUI, but it does not have 2 player mode.

This ways we can enjoy the famous arcade game Tetris in our Kali Linux.

GNOME Games

GNOME desktop environment have a good collection of puzzle games Chess is mentioned above, but there are a lots of games like Sudoku, Tetris, Robots, Mines, 2048, Four in a row etc.

However Kali Linux moved to Xfce from GNOME but these games will work here and all other Debian based Linux distributions. The look and fell of these games will remind us the GNOME environment.

1. 2048 (Clone of a popular game 2048)
2. aisleriot (Pack of 88 Solitaire card games)
3. gnome-chess (Chess game)

• blackjack
• gbrainey
• gnome-mastermind
• gnome-pipes
• gnome-untangle

BSD Games

Description: Simple library-based package manager
pacman is a utility which manages software packages in Linux. It uses
simple compressed files as a package format, and maintains a text-based
package database just in case some hand tweaking is necessary.
pacman does not strive to «do everything.» It will add, remove and
upgrade packages in the system, and it will allow you to query the
package database for installed packages, files and owners. It also
attempts to handle dependencies automatically and can download packages
from a remote server.
