How to Install Ackee on Kali Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install Ackee, a self-hosted analytics tool, on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

• Kali Linux Latest installed
• Node.js and npm installed
• MongoDB installed and running

Step 1: Download Ackee

First, open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to install Ackee. Then run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/electerious/Ackee.git

This will clone the Ackee repository from GitHub to your local machine.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Navigate to the Ackee directory and run the following command to install the project dependencies:

npm install

This will install all the required packages for Ackee to run.

Step 3: Configure Ackee

Now we need to configure Ackee by creating a .env file with the necessary settings. Navigate to the Ackee directory and run the following command:

cp .env.example .env

This will create a copy of the example .env file with the necessary settings. Open the .env file in your text editor of choice and modify the following settings:

• MONGODB_URI - The URI of your MongoDB instance. This should be in the format mongodb://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>
• NODE_ENV - The environment in which Ackee should run. Set this to production for a production environment.

Make any other necessary changes to the other settings in the .env file.

Step 4: Start Ackee

To start Ackee, run the following command in the Ackee directory:

npm start

This will start up Ackee and you should see output similar to the following:

To access the Ackee dashboard, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You'll see the Ackee login screen. Create an account and log in.
