Hey guys in this post I will show show you how you can easily install raspi-config in any OS inside Raspberry Pi.
Once you burn the image onto an SD card and insert it into the Raspberry Pi you have to do some initial configuration like logging into an account automatically, enable ssh, expand file system or overclocking. If you are a beginner, it would take minutes or even hours to do all this without any tools without automated scripts.
What is Raspi-config (Raspi Config)
Raspi-config is an automated script that will help you to do many useful initial configuration without manually typing all the commands into the terminal.
In most of the Linux OS for Raspberry Pi, raspi config tool is built in and you can easily Run raspi config using the below comment
sudo raspi-config
Most of the Raspberry Pi OS have this raspi-config pre installed with it.
But some OS like Kali Linux doesn’t have it, so running sudo raspi-config command not found error will be displayed. Or even if you try to install it using apt install raspi-config, it will throw out ‘failed to fetch’ error. So you will have to manually install raspi config.
In this post I will show you the easiest ways you can install raspi-config manually in any Raspberry Pi OS.

What’s the procedure for installing from https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspi-config, rather than https://github.com/asb/raspi-config. There are at least 3 githubs on this utility, including https://github.com/EmilGus/install_raspi-config. Hard to keep track of the forks and which ones do what.
