When Kali org announced Kali-purple on the occassion of 10th anniversary,it was move from offensive security to defensive security. It announced with couple of interesting features viz:-

step 1: Update repository

 sudo apt update 

step 2: Upgrade system

 sudo apt full-upgrade -y 

step 3: To remove unnecessary lib installed during upgradation

 sudo apt autoremove

suppose you want to install specific tool, then run single command viz

step 4: specific tool

 sudo apt install kali-tools-identify -y

Or else if you want to install all 5 framework tools together then run following command

step 5: All 5 together

 sudo apt install kali-tools-identify kali-tools-protect kali-tools-detect kali-tools-respond kali-tools-recover -y
