Kali Linux Install Telegram
Telegram is available within the Kali's repository, but the version is little bit older than the current version of Telegram for Desktop. Here is short script how to download and deploy the latest version via the command line.
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://telegram.org/dl/desktop/linux -O telegram-desktop-linux.tar.xz
tar -xvf telegram-desktop-linux.tar.xz
mv Telegram ~/.local/share/TelegramDesktop
~/.local/share/TelegramDesktop/Telegram &
rm telegram-desktop-linux.tar.xz
Penultimate command above will start the Telegram application. Once it is started it will create automatically the necessary .desktop files, so you can find Telegram within the GNOME's applications list. Also you could setup Telegram to automatically start at user log-in from within its settings.
If you want to put a Telegram icon at the desktop execute the following command. Note Telegram must be started at least one time before running the find/copy command below.
find ~/.local -type f -name 'appimagekit*Telegram*.desktop' -exec cp {} ~/Desktop/Telegram.desktop \;
sed -r -e '/^(Version|SingleMainWindow)/d' -e 's/^(Name=Telegram).*$/\1/' ~/Desktop/Telegram.desktop -i
Then right click on the new icon at the desktop and choice on the Allow Launching option. Or run the following commands which will do the same for you.
desktop-file-install --mode=0755 --dir=$HOME/Desktop ~/Desktop/Telegram.desktop
dbus-launch gio set ~/Desktop/Telegram.desktop "metadata::trusted" true
