How To Install libghc-tf-random-dev on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libghc-tf-random-dev
on Kali Linux.
What is libghc-tf-random-dev
libghc-tf-random-dev is:
This package contains an implementation of a high-quality splittable pseudorandom number generator. The generator is based on a cryptographic hash function built on top of the ThreeFish block cipher. See the paper Splittable Pseudorandom Number Generators Using Cryptographic Hashing by Claessen, Pa?ka for details and the rationale of the design.
The package provides the following:
A splittable PRNG that implements the standard System.Random.RandomGen class.
The generator also implements an alternative version of the System.Random.TF.Gen.RandomGen class (exported from System.Random.TF.Gen), which requires the generator to return pseudorandom integers from the full 32-bit range, and contains an n-way split function.
An alternative version of the Random class is provided, which is linked to the new RandomGen class, together with Random instances for some integral types.
Two functions for initialising the generator with a non-deterministic seed: one using the system time, and one using the /dev/urandom UNIX special file.
Please note that even though the generator provides very high-quality pseudorandom numbers, it has not been designed with cryptographic applications in mind.
This package provides a library for the Haskell programming language. See http://www.haskell.org/ for more information on Haskell.
There are three methods to install libghc-tf-random-dev
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 libghc-tf-random-dev Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get
using the following command.
sudo apt-get update
After updating apt database, We can install libghc-tf-random-dev
using apt-get
by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install libghc-tf-random-dev
Install libghc-tf-random-dev Using apt
Update apt database with apt
using the following command.
sudo apt update
After updating apt database, We can install libghc-tf-random-dev
using apt
by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install libghc-tf-random-dev
Install libghc-tf-random-dev 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 libghc-tf-random-dev
using aptitude
by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install libghc-tf-random-dev
