Installation issues running fatrat

Unable to install Mingw32 or mingw-w64

• 90% of the times this error happens because mingw was not correctly installed before in user desktop . The best way to solve this issue is to completly remove mingw32 from system , clean any file directly to mingw32 and execute an installation fix on your linux , so the symplinks and any other dependencies connected to mingw package could be erased .

• For mingw32 as root user :

• apt-get remove --purge mingw32 -y && apt-get autoremove -y && apt-get install -f -y

• For mingw-w64 as root user :

• apt-get remove --purge mingw-w64 -y && apt-get autoremove -y && apt-get install -f -y

After this point and when finished , all the remains of your faulty mingw installation are already removed .

After this point , execute ./setup.sh on fatrat folder , so mingw packages could be correctly installed in your linux from the Kali repositories .

This procedure is the same for all other packages that may give an error on output as (Not OK) , except these ones :

• proguard
• dx (from android sdk)
• aapt (from android sdk)
• apktool
• dex2jar

• these packages come in fatrat instalation folder . #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

It is advised to have in your sources list the repository for your linux distribution , best way to check it is :

on your terminal : (cat /etc/apt/sources.list)

if everyline in this file have an (#) behind , then it means that is not activated .

The solution is to search on your official linux distribution the repository links and add them in sources.list . You can use any text editor , if you are familiarized with nano editor , then run (nano /etc/apt/sources.list) and paste the links from your linux distribution from official website in that file , and save it . After that point , just do (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade) to upgrade your linux .
