Since I have problems with my Internet connection I'm not able to always run command apt-get install xdotool in Terminal, so I would like to download the **xdotool** package manually from website in .zip or .deb format and then install it manually every time I need it. (I'm using Usb Live Kali Linux 2016.2-amd64 and every time I reboot it deletes all files). I've tried to download xdotool from https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool at the right side in green box "Clone or download" there is option download ZIP. After that I extract all files in Home folder and then open it in Terminal. in README file there are instructions like this: > See the website for more up-to-date documentation > http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ or the manpage listed > below. > > Compile: make > Install: make install > Remove: make uninstall > > You may have to set 'PREFIX' to the location you want to install to. > The default PREFIX is /usr/local > > For packagers, there's also support for DESTDIR for staged install. I type in make then make install and it always outputs me this error: root@kali:~/xdotool-master# make cc -pipe -O2 -pedantic -Wall -W -Wundef -Wendif-labels -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wdisabled-optimization -Wno-missing-field-initializers -g -std=c99 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include -fPIC -c xdo.c xdo.c:29:34: fatal error: X11/extensions/XTest.h: No such file or directory #include ^ compilation terminated.

Makefile:124: recipe for target 'xdo.o' failed make: *** [xdo.o] Error 1 root@kali:~/xdotool-master# What I'm doing wrong? Can you suggest me other methods of installation of xdotool (but without Internet connection)?
