          Acunetix is available only for Windows Platform. You can try your luck by installing it using playonlinux.



          But there are other alternatives to Acunetix called Nikto. To install Nikto, open terminal and type



          sudo apt-get install nikto

            Acunetix doesnt support Linux Platform. You can use alternatives with WPScan.

            You can try luck installing Acunetix with WINE, but rather than that I suggest to choose one of alternatives available for Linux.



            Complete Acunetix alternatives list is available here:

                      You can try luck installing Acunetix with WINE, but rather than that I suggest to choose one of alternatives available for Linux.



                      Complete Acunetix alternatives list is available here:
