I am trying to install discord in Kali Linux. I've downloaded the latest .deb file from the discord website. I typed gdebi discord-0.0.13.deb.

I am getting this error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree        
Reading state information... Done
Reading state information... Done
This package is uninstallable
Dependency is not satisfiable: libappindicator1

How do I solve this error?

You can install it using snap. This helped me a lot on my Kali Linux journey.

Below are the instructions on how to enable snap on Debian and install Discord.

  1. Enable snapd:

    On Debian 9 (Stretch) and newer, snap can be installed directly from the command line:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install core

  2. Install Discord

    sudo snap install discord

Congratulations. You have successfully installed Discord.

You can read more about it here.

As of Jan 19 2021, the package libappindicator1 has been removed from Kali Linux: http://pkg.kali.org/pkg/libappindicator

I managed to install discord by downloading the .tar.gz version from https://discord.com/download and following the .tar.gz part of the guide here: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-install-discord-on-ubuntu-and-other-linux-distributions/

After following the steps, I was able to run discord it by typing ./Discord in a terminal.

What helped me with installing libappindicator1 on Debian and in Docker as well - is installing this package manually. Also, it depends on another one libindicator7.

curl -p --insecure "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/liba/libappindicator/libappindicator1_0.4.92-7_amd64.deb" --output libappindicator1_0.4.92-8_amd64.deb \
    && curl -p --insecure "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libi/libindicator/libindicator7_0.5.0-4_amd64.deb" --output libindicator7_0.5.0-4_amd64.deb \
    && dpkg -i libindicator7_0.5.0-4_amd64.deb \
    && dpkg -i libappindicator1_0.4.92-8_amd64.deb \
    && rm libindicator7_0.5.0-4_amd64.deb \
    && rm libappindicator1_0.4.92-8_amd64.deb

  • Please do not post the same answer to multiple questions. If the same information really answers both questions, then one question (usually the newer one) should be closed as a duplicate of the other. You can indicate this by voting to close it as a duplicate or, if you don't have enough reputation for that, raise a flag to indicate that it's a duplicate. Otherwise tailor your answer to this question and don't just paste the same answer in multiple places. – DavidPostill Jan 27 '22 at 18:28
