The next thing we're going to do is install kali linux, to do that type or copy and paste the command:

proot-distro install klinux

After this, you can now successfully login to your Kali Linux with the command:

proot-distro login klinux

If you want to create a shortcut command to login to Kali Linux, exit the Kali CLI and head back to termux, and paste in the command below

echo "proot-distro login klinux" >> $PREFIX/bin/klinux

Give it executable permission by entering the command below

chmod +x $PREFIX/bin/klinux

Now you can always login to Kali Linux by typing the simple command below

klinux

By default, after installation, Kali Linux on android rootless phone doesn't support upgrade, and that is because of  postgresql as it blocks the upgrade command from working on Kali, to fix this all we have to do is delete the postgresql file, we can delete the postgresql file with this command

rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql* && dpkg --configure -a

This should fix the error and you can continue with using your Kali as usual

Now, you can update and upgrade kali repository with the command

apt update

And now you can proceed to installing the GUI by clicking here.
