i3 Window Manager on Kali Linux
When it comes to Kali I've always been using whatever it comes with, but I recently found Dewalt's amazing pimpmyi3 script and was blown away by how easy I can get i3 set up on Kali along with pimpmykali and lots of other bonus tools. It's all pretty awesome.
With a clean and fresh Kali vm ready to go you just need to cd
into /opt
and run the commands on the pimpmyi3 github Readme. I would either do sudo su -
to become root during installation or use sudo
for each command that needs it. When I run pimpmy-i3.sh I pick the first option for setting it up with the root account.
cd /opt
rm -rf pimpmyi3/
git clone https://github.com/Dewalt-arch/pimpmyi3
cd pimpmyi3
sudo ./pimpmy-i3.sh
It will take a little while to finish just like pimpmykali. When it's done you'll need to reboot. When I rebooted I noticed that i3 still wasn't installed but you can do that with apt.
