Here are the steps you need to follow to install Anchr on Kali Linux:

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing any new package, it is recommended to update your system to avoid any potential conflicts. You can update your Kali Linux system using the following command:

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Anchr requires some dependencies to be installed before you can install it. To install these dependencies, run the following command:

Step 3: Download Anchr

Now we will download the Anchr installation package from the official Anchr GitHub repository. You can use Git to clone the repository with the following command:

Step 5: Configure Nginx

Next, we need to configure Nginx to serve the Anchr application. Create a new Nginx configuration file for Anchr with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/anchr.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localhost;

    root /path/to/your/anchr;

    index index.html;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }
}

Save and close the file.

Create a symbolic link to enable the new configuration:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/anchr.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Restart Nginx to apply the changes:

sudo service nginx restart
