SiteInspector is a web-based tool that helps you identify security vulnerabilities, accessibility issues, and other potential problems on your website. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing SiteInspector on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing SiteInspector, it's a good idea to ensure that your FreeBSD system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
This will update all the installed packages on your system.
SiteInspector relies on two external tools: PhantomJS and ImageMagick. You need to install these dependencies before installing SiteInspector.
To install PhantomJS, run the following command:
sudo pkg install -y phantomjs
To install ImageMagick, run the following command:
sudo pkg install -y imagemagick
To download SiteInspector, go to https://www.getsiteinspector.com/ and click on the "Download" button. This will download a zip file to your system.
Alternatively, you can use the following command to download SiteInspector directly from the command line:
sudo fetch https://www.getsiteinspector.com/download/SiteInspector-latest.zip -o SiteInspector-latest.zip
This command will download the latest version of SiteInspector and save it in a file called SiteInspector-latest.zip.
Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the zip file using the following command:
sudo unzip SiteInspector-latest.zip -d /usr/local/share/
This will extract the contents of the zip file to the /usr/local/share/SiteInspector directory.
It's a good idea to set up a virtual environment for SiteInspector using Python. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo pkg install -y py37-virtualenv
cd /usr/local/share/SiteInspector
sudo virtualenv venv
This will install the virtualenv package, create a new virtual environment called "venv", and activate it.
To install the Python dependencies required by SiteInspector, run the following command:
sudo /usr/local/share/SiteInspector/venv/bin/python /usr/local/share/SiteInspector/setup.py develop
This will install all the necessary Python packages in your virtual environment.
To start the SiteInspector server, run the following command:
sudo /usr/local/share/SiteInspector/venv/bin/python /usr/local/share/SiteInspector/siteinspector/server.py
This will start the SiteInspector server on port 5000. You can access the SiteInspector web interface by pointing your web browser to http://localhost:5000.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install SiteInspector on FreeBSD Latest. This web-based tool can help you identify security vulnerabilities and other potential problems on your website, making it an important addition to any web developer's toolkit.
