I have installed kali linux WSL distribution. I had also installed kali-win-kex, as mentioned in the official documentation. However when I try to run kex on the Kali terminal, it exits with the following message:

-bash: 'kex': command not found

I used grep on /var/log/dpkg.log to find any mention of the string kali-win-kex, but it found no match.

BEFORE CLOSING THIS AS A DUPLICATE I have searched through this stackexchange and pretty much every other site for this error, and I found no solution. I have found a lot of questions here related to kex, however all of them are related to some kind of mode in the program. There was no problem for anyone actually starting kex up.

Side note not related to this question : Why isn't there a kex tag?

  2. command "apt update". There are a few list of updatable. command "apt list --updatable".

  3. command "apt upgrade". I still had a error. I exited prompt and restart kali linux.

  4. command "apt update" again. There was no updatable list.

  5. command "apt install -y kali-win-kex" again. There was no error.

  6. command "kex --win -s". Entered password and reply password. After a few seconds, The Kali Linux password small window will appear. Entered password and done, you will show Kali linux desktop !!
