Install Gitlab Repository : Wordlists

Question

I want to install this repository which is the repository of wordlists in Kali Linux but i dont find how to install it in my Debian machine. The README file said to : "edit the file wordlist-symlinks and add the new file and symlink with the format path:symlink" I dont understand what does that mean ?

I have download the repo and launch multiple command like this : python3 -m pipx install wordlists --inlude-deps And this : sudo ln -sf /opt/wordlists:symlink /usr/share/wordlists to make the symlink to my file /usr/share/wordlists, but it does't work when i type : wordlists in my shell.

Can you help me to install this repo ? thank you

Answer 1

The README is instructions on how to contribute to the project, not on how to install the software.

Since it has a debian/ directory, this is the source for a Debian package. You need to build it like any other Debian package. Follow the instructions in the Building Tutorial.

I have found the solution thank you for your post. To install the repo you a have to launch this commands :

Clone the repo : git clone https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/wordlists.git

Change directory to the file download : cd wordlists/

launch the build with this command : dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

back to the subfile : cd ..

and finaly install with : sudo dpkg -i name_of_packet.deb
