Ensuring your Installation is Updated

To double check your version, first make sure your Kali package repositories are correct.
[email protected]:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
 deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

Then after running ‘apt -y full-upgrade’, you may require a ‘reboot’ before checking:
[email protected]:~# grep VERSION /etc/os-release
 VERSION="2018.4"
 VERSION_ID="2018.4"
 [email protected]:~#
 [email protected]:~# uname -a
 Linux kali 4.18.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.10-2kali1 (2018-10-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux

If you come across any bugs in Kali, please open a report on our bug tracker. We’ll never be able to fix what we don’t know about.
