How To Install libgsl25 on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libgsl25 on Kali Linux.
What is libgsl25
libgsl25 is:
The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a collection of routines for numerical analysis. The routines are written from scratch by the GSL team in C, and present a modern API for C programmers, while allowing wrappers to be written for very high level languages.
GSL includes data types and routines for complex numbers, vectors, matrices, basic linear algebra subroutines (BLAS), eigensystems, simulated annealing, minimization, root finding, pseudo-random numbers, least-squares fitting, fast Fourier transforms (FFT), differential equations, quadrature, Monte Carlo integration, special functions, physical constants, and much more.
This package provides the shared libraries required to run programs compiled with GNU GSL. To compile your own programs you also need to install libgsl-dev.

There are three methods to install libgsl25 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 libgsl25 Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install libgsl25 using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install libgsl25Install libgsl25 Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install libgsl25 using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install libgsl25Install libgsl25 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 libgsl25 using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install libgsl25How To Uninstall libgsl25 on Kali Linux
To uninstall only the libgsl25 package we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove libgsl25Uninstall libgsl25 And Its Dependencies
To uninstall libgsl25 and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove libgsl25Remove libgsl25 Configurations and Data
To remove libgsl25 configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y purge libgsl25Remove libgsl25 configuration, data, and all of its dependencies
We can use the following command to remove libgsl25 configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge libgsl25Dependencies
libgsl25 have the following dependencies:
