How To Install redshift on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install redshift on Kali Linux.
What is redshift
redshift is:
The color temperature is set according to the position of the sun. A different color temperature is set during night and daytime. During twilight and early morning, the color temperature transitions smoothly from night to daytime temperature to allow your eyes to slowly adapt.
This package provides the base program.
There are three methods to install redshift 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 redshift Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install redshift using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install redshiftInstall redshift Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install redshift using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install redshiftInstall redshift 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 updateAfter updating apt database, We can install redshift using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install redshiftHow To Uninstall redshift on Kali Linux
To uninstall only the redshift package we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove redshiftUninstall redshift And Its Dependencies
To uninstall redshift and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove redshiftRemove redshift Configurations and Data
To remove redshift configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y purge redshiftRemove redshift configuration, data, and all of its dependencies
We can use the following command to remove redshift configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge redshiftDependencies
redshift have the following dependencies:
