How To Install python3-genx on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-genx on Kali Linux.
What is python3-genx
python3-genx is:
GenX is a versatile program using the differential evolution algorithm for fitting, primarily, X-ray and neutron reflectivity data, lately also surface x-ray diffraction data. The differential evolution algorithm is a robust optimization method which avoids local minima but at same is a highly effective. GenX is written in Python and uses the wxpython package for the Graphical User Interface (GUI). A model to fit is defined either through a GUI plug-in or via a Python script. The possibility to script everything makes it easy to develop completely new fitting model. Clearly, GenX is extremely modular, making it possible to extend the program with models and plug-ins for most fitting problems. At the present GenX is shipped with models for x-ray and neutron specular reflectivity, off-specular x-ray reflectivity and surface x-ray diffraction
There are three methods to install python3-genx 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 python3-genx Using apt-get
