How To Install complexity on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install complexity on Kali Linux.

What is complexity

complexity is:

Complexity measurement tool help to:

• locate suspicious areas in unfamiliar code
• get an idea of how much effort may be required to understand that code
• get an idea of the effort required to test a code base
• provide a reminder to yourself. You may see what you’ve written as obvious, but others may not.

Comparing with existing tool McCabe, this program improves scoring of following language constructs:

• code length
• switch statement
• logic conditions

There are three methods to install complexity 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 complexity Using apt-get

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

sudo apt-get update

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

sudo apt-get -y install complexity

Install complexity Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

Install complexity 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 complexity using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install complexity

How To Uninstall complexity on Kali Linux
