sudo apt-get install metasploit-framework Did the job
it worked but said dkpg file or something wasnt working and now it just cant find the metasploit-frameworks at all

what about this command
sudo apt-get install metasploit-framework

If you go root, you can circumvent the sudo glitches.

WARNING: ROOT IS DANGEROUS IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW POWERFUL IT IS.
(All disclaimers flapping in the breeze, including Your Mileage Might Vary.)

First set a root password with sudo passwd root,
You will be asked to enter sudo's password and then create and confirm a new password for root.

From now on to login as root, you can just su -.

And finally, to address the metasploit install issues, you will realize you no longer need sudo.

Just run this command and watch the magic unfold!

apt-get install metasploit-framework postgresql

Try first sudo apt-get update , it works for me :)

All of you please consider this before using apt-get install metasploit-framework

2. sudo apt install metasploit-framework

Error:
Unable to locate package metasploit-framework

@Deltwin

try this
sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev libssl-dev libpq5 libpq-dev libreadline5 libsqlite3-dev libpcap-dev git-core autoconf postgresql pgadmin3 curl zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libyaml-dev curl zlib1g-dev gawk bison libffi-dev libgdbm-dev libncurses5-dev libtool sqlite3 libgmp-dev gnupg2 dirmngr

on ubuntu also you need to run
sudo gem install bundler

Above all of these commands nothing is working for me

use ubuntu instead, kali has some weird issues with apt on wsl2
