I had to run apt-get update before this command.

True, before line 591. I will fix that.

You have to run apt-get update before you can install from the new repository.

Yes, true. Forgot to include that to update the package list. Good catch.

Since libssl1.0.x or higher is installed, it does work.

Test result using Invoke-WebRequest to download powershell package from github releases through HTTPS below. Unless I'm missing something that you may want me to test against? You can give me the commands to run and I will post it back here.

BTW, I asked you about libssl before I checked it my self. This is my basic test to verify that it's working correctly. If you get correctly formed json back it's working.

@TravisEz13 @kiazhi - This article still says:

Note
Kali support is not currently working. Please use the Snap package instead.

Does that still apply?

TravisEz13 · 2018-10-03T17:44:56Z

No, It can be removed. I verified the changes.
