Overview
Debian Conversion Script is an installer script for ParrotOS. This project stands as a replacement for the alternate-install which is no longer
maintained. It is updated to the latest Parrot release.
How to Use
Using this script is quite simple. Follow the steps below:
1. Open a terminal window
2. Clone this repository
git clone https://gitlab.com/parrotsec/project/debian-conversion-script.git
cd debian-conversion-script
sudo chmod +x ./install.sh
sudo ./install.sh
Menu Options
Upon running the script, a menu will appear:
========== ParrotOS Editions Installer ==========
1) Install Core Edition
2) Install Home Edition
3) Install Security Edition
4) Install Hack The Box Edition
5) Exit
=================================================
Choose the desired option by typing the corresponding number (e.g., type 1 to install the Core Edition packages).
Available Editions
Core Edition: Installs the minimal base system without any graphical interface or additional tools. Ideal for advanced users who want to
customize their installation.
Home Edition: Installs a user-friendly environment with a complete suite of daily use applications, including office software, multimedia tools,
and general utilities.
Security Edition: Installs a comprehensive suite of security tools and utilities for penetration testing, forensics, and vulnerability assessment.
Hack The Box Edition: Installs tools and configurations optimized for use with Hack The Box, a popular online platform for practicing
penetration testing and ethical hacking.
Compatibility
This script has been tested on Debian 12, including virtual machines and Docker containers.

Post installation
Some configuration files that may contains customization won't be converted by this script and (if wanted) need to be copyied manually.
bashrc
The parrot version for the default bashrc can be found in /usr/share/base-files/dot.bashrc. This file can be copied to the following locations:
/etc/bash.bashrc
/etc/skel/.bashrc
/root/.bashrc
profile
The parrot version for the default profile can be found in /usr/share/base-files/dot.profile. This file can be copied to the following locations:
/etc/profile
/etc/skel/.profile
/root/.profile
/etc/skel
The configuration files in /etc/skel are used to populate every user home directory upon the user creation. Since the conversion script relies on a
pre-installed distribution all the already created users won't have parrot default configurations installed in their home directories. To reach a full
parrot customization the content of /etc/skel should be copied on every user home directory, but paying attention to avoid override customization
that the user may have done on those files.
