I recently built a ShellGPT Kali Installer to solve exactly that problem β turning a messy setup process into a clean, reproducible workflow. If you've tried installing ShellGPT (shell-gpt) on Kali Linux, youβve probably hit issues like: Instead of fixing these one by one every timeβ¦ π I decided to automate everything. This project provides a fully automated installer that sets up ShellGPT correctly on Kali Linux. The installer handles: bash
