Midori Browser 11.5 not working on Kali Linux (midori_11.5_amd64.deb)
$ cd Downloads
$ midori
output:
$ midori zsh: illegal hardware instruction midori

@hacktheworld - that was never going to work, you need to seriously learn a lot more about basic Linux operations.

Midori works fine in Kali.

If you download a file ending with .deb , you need to install it first before you can run the app.

There are a number of ways you can do this, I will list two here.

OPTION 1

1. Install gdebi if it is not already installed (needs to be with Kali)

   sudo apt install gdebi

2. Open your File Manager and navigate to the folder where the downloaded .deb is located - Downloads in your case.
3. Right click the file and choose "Install with gdebi"
4. Following the success of that, Midori will appear in your Menu, under Internet

OPTION 2

1. In the Terminal, issue the following commands

2. cd Downloads
   sudo dpkg -i midori_11.5_amd64.deb

3. Following the success of that, Midori will appear in your Menu, under Internet

You can also use apt to install it.

Once Midori is installed, you can invoke it from Terminal, but it will also generate a terminal text window that raises more questions for you than it answers, as seen in my screenshot below.

... so you would be better to either launch it from your Menu, or else find it in the Menu and add it to your Panel on the Desktop.

I had already tried with sudo dpkg -i [file name] but I couldn't install Midori on Kali, so I'll try to install it with gdebi.
I'll let you know
Thank you

I tried both ways, the icon appears but the browser does not start.
Typing Midori on the terminal the output is this:

─$ midori
zsh: illegal hardware instruction midori

 

[f33dm3bits]

─$ midori
zsh: illegal hardware instruction midori

What cpu architecture is that system? Can you share the output of the following to check something?

lscpu | head -n2

lscpu | head -n2

$ lscpu | head -n2
Architecture: x86_64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit

 

[f33dm3bits]

$ lscpu | head -n2
Architecture: x86_64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit

That's not it then. What happens when you switch to a bash shell.
So run "bash" from your "zsh", that will give you a bash shell. What happens then when you try and start Midori from the command-line?

Will download Kali and install it in a vm to see what happens then.

Nothing happens it always gives me the same output:
─$ midori
zsh: illegal hardware instruction midori

I will report the case to Astian

That's still showing your are trying to launch it with "zsh", but okay. I installed a vm with Kali and it launches there, even when using zsh. Must be something odd then.

Try:
strace midori > midori_errors.log

This way, if the resulting output is too long to paste, you'll be able to attach the file.

I don't know anything about Kali Linux although give the Midori tar file a try and see what happens.

Download the file and then extract it.
It will create a folder.
Open that folder and hunt for the icon marked "Midori" and create a desktop system link.
