Installing Metasploit on Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Debian Linux

SOURCE:
http://www.metasploit.com/dev/trac/wiki/Metasploit3/InstallUbuntu

At this time, no package exists for Metasploit 3. In order to use the Metasploit Framework on Ubuntu or Debian distributions of Linux, the following packages need to be installed:

# apt-get install ruby libruby rdoc libyaml-ruby libzlib-ruby libopenssl-ruby libdl-ruby libreadline-ruby libiconv-ruby rubygems

*The RubyGems package may need to be manually downloaded and installed.

If you would like to use the experimental GUI, you will need to install the following packages:

# apt-get install libgtk2-ruby libglade2-ruby

If you would like to use the online update feature, you will need to install the "subversion" package as well. Once the pre-requisites have been installed, download the Unix tarball from Framework Website and extract it to the directory of your choice. If everything was installed correctly, execute the interface of your choice to get started (msfconsole, msfweb, etc).
