Using apt (advanced packaging tool) we can manage the software in kali linux or in any distribution.

Upgrade Package
To upgrade the package to latest and unstable version we can use the below command but I suggest you to not do this.

View Source.list
We can add multiple repositories inside the source.ist file, So the next time if we update and upgrade it will be updated or upgraded from the source.lst
We can also add a repository package inside the source.list, The repository packages are divided into 5 types they are;
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
- main Contains supported open source software
- universe Contains communitymaintained open source software
- multiverse Contains software
- restricted by copyright or other legal issues restricted Contains proprietary device drivers
- backports Contains packages from later releases

Synaptic is GUI format package manager and to download it you can just use the below command.
sudo apt-get install synaptic
Once installed just type synaptic on terminal to open the package manager.

git clone <software url> git clone https://github.com/moulik-source/port-scan
