#Kali Linux Risu Installation
## Step 1: System Pre-requirements
A few system packages need to be installed before we can install the risu gem. These packages include packages that [RVM](https://rvm.io/) recommends to have installed also. Select Yes to any extra packages it adds. As root execute the following:
# apt-get install curl build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool bison subversion libmysqlclient-dev libmagickcore-dev libmagick++-dev libmagickwand-dev
## Step 2: Install RVM
Follow the instructions [here](https://rvm.io/rvm/install/) to setup a working RVM environment. The following is a quick list of commands to install it, check the site for the latest. As your user run the following:
% #This was done as root, as that is how Kali Linux operates.
% curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
% source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
% rvm install 1.9.3
% rvm use 1.9.3 --default
## Step 3: Install Risu
Risu is configured to auto install any dependent gems that is depends on, this makes installation much easier.
% gem install risu
## Step 4: Test Risu
To test and see if the install run the following command
% risu -v
You should see output like the following:
% risu -v
risu: 1.6.2
Ruby Version: 1.9.3
Rubygems Version: 2.0.6
