I am using Kali 2017.3 version. Not getting results for showmount command.
showmount: command not found
Tried apt-get install showmount but no luck…
Let me know if there is any other way or any other alternative way to get such results.

I think you can track it down with apt-cache search showmount and if memory serves it is in nfs-common but you may need to verify this.

Try apt-get install nfs-common and see if that solves the issue.

Are there anyone can suggest on this ?

Just as it wrote, run apt update to update the package information, then try again with apt install nfs-common

Like @HomeSen said, it’s worth reading the output - for example this bit seems relevant E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Also, Kali 2017 is pretty old, is there a reason why you don’t want to update it to 2019? (I don’t like 2020 but…)

actually due to less RAM i was using 2017, now upgraded the system and using 2020.1b. Its working now.
