Topic: Installing Metasploit in 9.04.01

get the metasploit tar ball from the metaploit site........ get the package.tar.gz. I mocked the bt and whax directory structure and created a /pentest/framework to where i extracted the files...

before running metasploit we need to get some packages..... do the following commands

sudo apt-get install subversion ruby libruby rdoc libyaml-ruby libzlib-ruby
sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby libdl-ruby libreadline-ruby
sudo apt-get install libiconv-ruby rubygems libgtk2-ruby libglade2-ruby

and now enter the directory where u extracted the tarball and execute this in terminal

sudo svn update

now those who are in need for the command line download issue this at the terminal

wget "http://www.metasploit.com/framework/dow … .3.tar.bz2"

cheers
