How To Install umoci on Kali Linux

Introduction

What is umoci

umoci is:

umoci creates and modifies Open Container images. See the official website (https://umo.ci/) for more accessible documentation about how to use umoci.

umoci intends to be a complete manipulation tool for OCI images (https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec). In particular, it should be seen as a more end-user-focused version of the oci-image-tools provided by the OCI (https://github.com/opencontainers/image-tools). The hope is that all of this tooling will eventually be merged with the upstream repository, so that it is always kept up-to-date by the Open Container Initiative community.

umoci provides tooling that can abstract all of the internals of the OCI specification into a single CLI interface.
