Can't install sn0int on Kali Linux Rolling

[okoester]

snOint fails to install on Kali Linux Rolling.
This is the output:

101 root@xxxxx ~/sn0int (git)-[master] # cargo install -f --path .                                                                                                                                                                           :(

Hey! Please see the install instructions for kali linux: https://sn0int.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install.html#debian-ubuntu-kali

You need to uninstall rust and cargo with apt and reinstall it with rustup from here: https://rustup.rs/

Alternatively you can also use the docker image instead (either the pre-built one from docker hub or by running docker build -t sn0int .)

rustc in kali is currently lagging behind due to:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=933045

I hope that helps!

Closing since there's now an apt repo with pre-built packages: https://sn0int.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install.html#debian-ubuntu-kali
