How To Install libkdtree++-dev on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libkdtree++-dev on Kali Linux.

What is libkdtree++-dev

libkdtree++-dev is:

libkdtree++ is a C++ template container implementation of k-dimensional space sorting, using a kd-tree. It:

• supports an unlimited number of dimensions (in theory)
• can store any data structure, provided the data structure provides operator[0 - k-1] to access the individual dimensional components (arrays, std::vector already do) and a std::less implementation for the type of dimensional components
• has support for custom allocators
• implements iterators
• provides standard find as well as range queries
• has amortised O(lg n) time (O(n lg n) worst case) on most operations (insert/erase/find optimised) and worst-case O(n) space
• provides a means to rebalance and thus optimise the tree
• exists in its own namespace
• uses STL coding style, basing a lot of the code on stl_tree.h

libkdtree++ only exists as a -dev package as it’s only a bunch of C++ header files. Therefore, no static or shared library is necessary, allowing for ultimate flexibility.
