How To Install libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl on Kali Linux.

What is libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl

libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl is:

Math::Prime::Util::GMP contains a set of utilities related to prime numbers, using GMP. This includes primality tests, getting primes in a range, and factoring.

While it certainly can be used directly, the main purpose of this module is for Math::Prime::Util. That module will automatically load this if it is installed, greatly speeding up many of its operations on big numbers.

Inputs and outputs for big numbers are via strings, so you do not need to use a bigint package in your program. However if you do use bigints, inputs will be converted internally so there is no need to convert before a call. Output results are returned as either Perl scalars (for native-size) or strings (for bigints). Math::Prime::Util tries to reconvert all strings back into the callers bigint type if possible, which makes it more convenient for calculations.

There are three methods to install libmath-prime-util-gmp-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.
