How to install on Kali?

[Network-Sec]

Latest 5.8.2 deb fails to install with dpkg
Using 5.8.0 deb does install but I still get
"radare2/rizin plugin r2ghidra/rzghidra must be installed and available from r2/rz"

Installing r2pipe via pip3 doesn't help.

In r2 it's not available and suggests to do "r2pm -ci r2ghidra"
When I do that, I get a compile error "anal_ghidra_plugin.c:28:10: error: ‘RAnalPlugin’ {aka ‘struct r_anal_plugin_t’} has no member named ‘cpus’"

I depend on this plugin but for the last 2 years I had to fallback to an older Ubuntu 18.04 where the installation worked. Please update instructions. Thanks for your hard work, it's amazing!

• the deb fails to install -> why? Whats the error?
• I dont get whats this r2/rz thing or what do you mean with this
• Having this compile error probably means that you have an ancient installation of r2 in the system and you need to remove the old package and purge it with dpkg --purge or so
• Its normal that the deb pkg doesnt works on ubuntu 18 because the debian packages are compiled on ubuntu lts and ubuntu18 was removed from the continuous integration of github

@trufae is right, the version of radare2 bundled with Kali 2023.1 is too old. radare2 5.5.0 was released on Nov 15, 2021. See all versions here.
