How To Install libmath-matrixreal-perl on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install libmath-matrixreal-perl on Kali Linux. libmath-matrixreal-perl is module to manipulate NxN matrices of real numbers

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libmath-matrixreal-perl on Kali Linux.

What is libmath-matrixreal-perl

libmath-matrixreal-perl is:

Math::MatrixReal implements the data type “matrix of reals” (and consequently also “vector of reals”) which can be used almost like any other basic Perl type thanks to operator overloading.

It features many important operations and methods: matrix norm, matrix transposition, matrix inverse, determinant of a matrix, order and numerical condition of a matrix, scalar product of vectors, vector product of vectors, vector length, projection of row and column vectors, a comfortable way for reading in a matrix from a file, the keyboard or your code, and many more.

It allows one to solve linear equation systems using an efficient algorithm known as “L-R-decomposition” and several approximative (iterative) methods.

It features an implementation of Kleene’s algorithm to compute the minimal costs for all paths in a graph with weighted edges (the “weights” being the costs associated with each edge).

Finally, it allows one to solve the eigensystem of a real symmetric matrix, using Householder transformation and QL decomposition.

There are three methods to install libmath-matrixreal-perl 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 libmath-matrixreal-perl Using apt-get

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

sudo apt-get update

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

sudo apt-get -y install libmath-matrixreal-perl

Install libmath-matrixreal-perl Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install libmath-matrixreal-perl using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install libmath-matrixreal-perl

Install libmath-matrixreal-perl 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 libmath-matrixreal-perl using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install libmath-matrixreal-perl
