For example, to update the “kali-rolling” repository: # apt-get update & apt-get -y upgrade If you have made any local modifications to the Kali Linux configuration files, it is recommended to make a backup before updating. It is recommended to use the “dist-upgrade” command instead of the “upgrade” command, as “dist-upgrade” will handle dependencies more intelligently: # apt-get dist-upgrade If you have any third-party repositories enabled (such as the “kali-rolling” repository), you will also need to run their respective update commands. This can be accomplished by running the following command: # apt-get update & apt-get upgrade Once the package list has been updated, you can proceed to upgrading the actual packages. The first step is to ensure that all installed packages are up to date. This document will guide you through the process of updating your Kali Linux installation to the latest version.
