How To Install libgsm1 on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libgsm1 on Kali Linux.

What is libgsm1

libgsm1 is:

This package contains runtime shared libraries for libgsm, an implementation of the European GSM 06.10 provisional standard for full-rate speech transcoding, prI-ETS 300 036, which uses RPE/LTP (residual pulse excitation/long term prediction) coding at 13 kbit/s.

GSM 06.10 compresses frames of 160 13-bit samples (8 kHz sampling rate, i.e. a frame rate of 50 Hz) into 260 bits; for compatibility with typical UNIX applications, this implementation turns frames of 160 16-bit linear samples into 33-byte frames (1650 Bytes/s). The quality of the algorithm is good enough for reliable speaker recognition; even music often survives transcoding in recognizable form (given the bandwidth limitations of 8 kHz sampling rate).

The interfaces offered are a front end modelled after compress(1), and a library API. Compression and decompression run faster than realtime on most SPARCstations. The implementation has been verified against the ETSI standard test patterns.

There are three methods to install libgsm1 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 libgsm1 Using apt-get

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

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install libgsm1 using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install libgsm1

Install libgsm1 Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install libgsm1 using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install libgsm1

Install libgsm1 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 libgsm1 using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install libgsm1

How To Uninstall libgsm1 on Kali Linux

To uninstall only the libgsm1 package we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove libgsm1

Uninstall libgsm1 And Its Dependencies

To uninstall libgsm1 and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove libgsm1

Remove libgsm1 Configurations and Data

To remove libgsm1 configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y purge libgsm1

Remove libgsm1 configuration, data, and all of its dependencies

We can use the following command to remove libgsm1 configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge libgsm1

Dependencies
