Deployment Flow

The Deployment Flow would be →

Previous Steps ⚠︎

Before start with the above Components’ Installation and Configuration →

sudo apt update # Repositories' update

sudo parrot-upgrade

CAUTION
Be aware that the following upgrading way is not recommended →
sudo apt upgrade # Or sudo apt full-upgrade
The above way may arises several errors such as the Kernel Panic ones on reboot due to specific packages

Therefore, the Parrot Team has created parrot-upgrade, a simple bash script, to avoid the mentioned problems
$ command -V parrot-upgrade
parrot-upgrade is /usr/bin/parrot-upgrade
/usr/bin/parrot-upgrade
#!/bin/bash
set -e
DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive"
DEBIAN_PRIORITY="critical"
DEBCONF_NOWARNINGS="yes"
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND DEBIAN_PRIORITY DEBCONF_NOWARNINGS
apt update || echo failed to update index lists
dpkg --configure -a || echo failed to fix interrupted upgrades
apt --fix-broken --fix-missing install || echo failed to fix conflicts
apt -y --fix-broken --fix-missing full-upgrade
apt -y full-upgrade
Thus, on Parrot OS, instead of this →
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y # Wrong!
Do this →
sudo apt update && sudo parrot-upgrade

Environment Dependencies →

sudo apt install -y -- zenity build-essential git vim xcb libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-ewmh-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libasound2-dev libxcb-xtest0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev

Additional Packages →

sudo apt install -y -- scrot scrub xclip bar locate ranger neofetch wmname acpi imagemagick cmatrix
