gistfile1.txt

Steps to install Metasploit on Windows 10 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux

1.) Enable Developer Mode
    C:\> reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModelUnlock" /t REG_DWORD /f /v "AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense" /d "1"

2.) Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux
    C:\> DISM /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

3.) Reboot

4.) Type "bash" at cmd line to get into Windows Subsystem for Linux and create a new password for your user.

5.) Install Metasploit
    test@Desktop:/mnt/c$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-omnibus/master/config/templates/metasploit-framework-wrappers/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall && chmod 755 msfinstall && ./msfinstall

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 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
