How do I install and configure the program cheat on Kali Linux from repo https://github.com/cheat/cheat?

I am new to Kali Linux and I am trying to install the program cheat from the git repo https://github.com/cheat/cheat.

Most of the tutorials show how to install cheat by running python setup.py which seemed to work previously when the repo was hosted at https://github.com/chrisallenlane/cheat. However, this file is no longer present in current repo.

I have cloned the new git repo, but I do not know how to install the program from new repo.

Download the binary from the release page.

Open a terminal in the download folder, to decompress the .gz file type:

gzip -d <downloaded_file.gz>

Make it executable:

chmod +x <downloaded_file> # No gzip extension this time

Now you can run it:

./<downloaded_file>

Optionally, copy it to somewhere in your PATH:

cp <downloaded_file> /usr/local/bin/cheat

Now you can run it by simply typing cheat

Here is a full example with amd64:

cd ~/Downloads
gzip -d cheat-linux-amd64.gz
chmod +x cheat-linux-amd64
sudo cp ./cheat-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/cheat

# Run with:
cheat
