Those of you who want to build a Kali NetHunter image from our GitLab repository may do so using our Python build-scripts:

kali@kali:~$ git clone https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethunter/build-scripts/kali-nethunter-installer.git
[...]
kali@kali:~$
kali@kali:~$ cd kali-nethunter-installer/

Before you can build for a device, you will need to enter the kali-nethunter-installer directory and run ./bootstrap.sh. This will ask you a few questions before downloading the devices folder.

kali@kali:~$ ./bootstrap.sh
[?] Would you like to grab the full history of kernels? (y/N):
[?] Would you like to use SSH authentication (faster, but requires a GitLab account with SSH keys)? (y/N): N
[i] Running command: git clone --depth 1 https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethunter/build-scripts/kali-nethunter-kernels.git kernels
Cloning into 'kernels'...

kali@kali:~$

The main build-script is also located in the kali-nethunter-installer directory and can be used to build images for multiple devices and Android OS versions as shown below:

kali@kali:~/kali-nethunter-installer$ python3 build.py -h

To build an app and scripts updater image for a OnePlus 7 device, we would run build.py as follows:

kali@kali:~/kali-nethunter-installer$ python3 build.py -k oneplus7-oos --ten

To build a installer updater image for a OnePlus 7 device, we would run build.py as follows:

kali@kali:~/kali-nethunter-installer$ python3 build.py -k oneplus7-oos --ten -i

The resulting zip file image will be created in the kali-nethunter-installer directory – this is the zip file you will need to flash on your device later on.
