How To Install python3-pyfftw on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-pyfftw on Kali Linux.
What is python3-pyfftw
python3-pyfftw is:
Pythonic wrapper around FFTW, the speedy FFT library. The ultimate aim is to present a unified interface for all the possible transforms that FFTW can perform.
Both the complex DFT and the real DFT are supported, as well as arbitrary axes of abitrary shaped and strided arrays, which makes it almost feature equivalent to standard and real FFT functions of numpy.fft (indeed, it supports the clongdouble dtype which numpy.fft does not).
pyFFTW is BSD-licensed and should not be confused with python-fftw, a GPL-licensed python module with the same aim of providing python bindings to FFTW3. Or python3-gpyfft, which provides bindings to the OpenCL FFT library clFFT.
This package provides the Python 3 bindings.
There are three methods to install python3-pyfftw 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-pyfftw Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install python3-pyfftw using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install python3-pyfftwInstall python3-pyfftw Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install python3-pyfftw using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install python3-pyfftwInstall python3-pyfftw 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 updateAfter updating apt database, We can install python3-pyfftw using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install python3-pyfftwHow To Uninstall python3-pyfftw on Kali Linux
To uninstall only the python3-pyfftw package we can use the following command:
