“In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Preload on Kali Linux. Preload is an adaptive readahead daemon.”
Introduction
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Preload on Kali Linux.
What is Preload?
Preload is a service that monitors the applications users run and, based on this data, predicts which applications they might use next. It preloads those binaries and their dependencies into memory, allowing for faster startup times.
It’s important to note that installing Preload won’t make your system boot faster. Preload is a daemon that runs with root privileges.
There are three methods to install preload on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install preload Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get update
After updating the APT database, we can install Preload using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install preload
Install Preload Using APT
Update the APT database by using the following command:
sudo apt update
Once the APT database is updated, you can install Preload by running the following command using APT
sudo apt -y install preload
Install Preload Using Aptitude
If you choose this method, you may need to install Aptitude on Kali Linux first, as it’s not typically installed by default. To update the APT database with Aptitude, use the following command:
sudo aptitude update
“Once the APT database is updated, you can install Preload using Aptitude by running the following command:”
sudo aptitude -y install preload
How to Uninstall Preload on Kali Linux
To remove just the Preload package, you can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove preload
Uninstall Preload and Its Dependencies
To remove Preload along with any dependencies that are no longer needed on Kali Linux, use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove preload
Remove Preload Configurations and Data
To delete Preload’s configuration files and data from Kali Linux, use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y purge preload
Remove Preload Configuration, Data, and All Dependencies
To completely remove Preload, including its configurations, data, and all dependencies, use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove –purge preload
