Install BeeF framework on LMDE

The guide on teh beef website is broken as fuck and doesnt work, I got pissed off so I figured out what the correct method is and wrote this simple guide.

Follow the below commands one by one

apt-get update
apt-get install curl git ruby build-essential ruby-sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev
curl https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer
source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
rvm pkg install zlib --verify-downloads 1
rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p545
rvm use 1.9.3
gem install bundler
git clone git://github.com/beefproject/beef.git
cd beef/
bundle install
ruby beef

KDE menu empty or KDE missing applications

So after a small update it seems KDE menu just stopped populating, after a ton of trawling and figuring stuff out here is the perfect solution

copy
 /etc/xdg/menus/kde4-applications.menu
to /home/YOURUSER/.config/menus/
now rename it to applications.menu

now run:
kbuildsycoca4 -noincremental

shouldn't even need to reboot, just check your lovely menu!
