Kallithea is a free and open-source source code management system that helps with the management of Git, Mercurial, and Subversion repositories. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kallithea on Elementary OS latest.

Follow these steps to install Kallithea on Elementary OS latest:
The first step is to add the Kallithea repository to your system. To do so, open your terminal and enter the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:kallithea-cs
After adding the Kallithea repository, update the apt repository by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Now, we can install Kallithea by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install kallithea
After installing Kallithea, we need to configure it to set up the initial user and repository. For that, we will use the paster command-line utility that comes with Kallithea.
First, we need to create a configuration file by running the following command:
sudo -H -u $USER kallithea-paster make-config kallithea production.ini
This will create a production.ini file in the /home/$USER/ directory.
Next, we need to create an initial user account. Run the following command to create the user account:
sudo -H -u $USER kallithea-paster create-user --username=admin --password=admin --email=admin@example.com production.ini
This command will create an initial user with the username admin, password admin, and email admin@example.com.
Finally, we can start Kallithea by running the following command:
sudo -H -u $USER kallithea-paster serve production.ini
This will start the Kallithea application.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Kallithea on Elementary OS latest. You can now start using Kallithea for your source code management needs.
