Kali Linux comes out of the gate with a lot of tools installed but lacks support for a lot of programs.
I use Kali on a laptop that has no personal information on it and is only used to test other devices/networks with. Kali Linux does not come with an archive manager by default. Any time you download and zipped up file (tar.gz) you cant open it without using the command line. I already have enough commands to remember... Archive commands are not top on my priority list, thus I have to look them up every once in a while. Plus after downloading files I want the ease of right clicking on the file downloaded and being able to click 'Extract Here'. It makes it so much easier, faster and nicer to have an archive manager like Engrampa installed. Below is how I installed it and some of the troubles I ran into.
I added the MATE repository to my sources.list file because Engrampa is not in the Kali or Debian repositories. (I have Debian repositorys installed for other packages that I wanted, that werent in the Kali repositories)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#commands to run
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
#add the line below to the sources.list file
deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/debian/ wheezy main
sudo apt-get update
----------------------------------------------------------------
During the update I received an error about an invalid public key.
To install the key run this command.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 68980A0EA10B4DE8 68980A0EA1B4DE8
sudo apt-get update
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If you do not receive any errors then install engrampa and caja.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install engrampa caja
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Engrampa will install but wont run without caja being installed.
After that you can double click and open any zip file.
