How To Install leptonica-progs on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install leptonica-progs on Kali Linux.

What is leptonica-progs

leptonica-progs is:

Well-tested C library for some basic image processing operations, along with a description of the functions and some design methods. A full set of affine transformations (translation, shear, rotation, scaling) on images of all depths is included, with the exception that some of the scaling methods do not work at all depths. There are also implementations of binary morphology, grayscale morphology, convolution and rank order filters, and applications such as jbig2 image processing and color quantization. You will also find basic utilities for the safe and efficient handling of arrays (of strings, numbers, number pairs and image-related geometrical objects), byte queues, generic stacks, generic lists, and endian-independent indexing into 32-bit arrays.

There are three methods to install leptonica-progs on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install leptonica-progs Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install leptonica-progs using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install leptonica-progs

Install leptonica-progs Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install leptonica-progs using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install leptonica-progs

Install leptonica-progs Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install leptonica-progs using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install leptonica-progs

How To Uninstall leptonica-progs on Kali Linux

To uninstall only the leptonica-progs package we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove leptonica-progs

Uninstall leptonica-progs And Its Dependencies

To uninstall leptonica-progs and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove leptonica-progs

Remove leptonica-progs Configurations and Data

To remove leptonica-progs configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y purge leptonica-progs

Remove leptonica-progs configuration, data, and all of its dependencies

We can use the following command to remove leptonica-progs configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge leptonica-progs

Dependencies

leptonica-progs have the following dependencies:

• libc6
• liblept5
