How to Install Baserow on Kali Linux Latest

Baserow is a free and open-source online database tool that allows users to create databases, tables, and forms without the need for any programming experience. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Baserow on Kali Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation of Baserow, you must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• You have a Kali Linux Latest installed on your system.
• You have sudo or root privileges on your system.
• You have an active internet connection.

Step 1: Update the System

First, it is important to ensure that your Kali Linux is up-to-date. You can update the system by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing Baserow, we need to make sure that all its dependencies are installed on our system. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-venv python3-dev python3-psycopg2 libpq-dev python3-wheel python3-setuptools python3-cffi python3-magic python3-lxml libyaml-dev npm

Step 3: Create and Activate a Virtual Environment

Next, we will create a virtual environment for Baserow to avoid any conflicts with the system's default Python installation. Run the following commands to create and activate a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv baserow-env
source baserow-env/bin/activate

Step 4: Install Baserow

Once we have activated the virtual environment, we can proceed with the installation of Baserow. Run the following command to install Baserow:

pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install baserow==1.7.0

Step 5: Configure PostgreSQL Database

Baserow requires a PostgreSQL database to store and manage the data. You need to create a new PostgreSQL database and user for Baserow. Run the following commands to create a new PostgreSQL user and database:

sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE USER baserow_user WITH PASSWORD 'baserow_password';
CREATE DATABASE baserow_db;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE baserow_db TO baserow_user;

Step 6: Configure Baserow

We need to configure Baserow to connect to the PostgreSQL database that we created in the previous step. Run the following command to create a configuration file for Baserow:

cp baserow/settings/local.py.example baserow/settings/local.py

Then, edit the local.py file to include the following configuration:

DATABASES = {
    "default": {
        "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql",
        "NAME": "baserow_db",
        "USER": "baserow_user",
        "PASSWORD": "baserow_password",
        "HOST": "",
        "PORT": "",
    }
}

Step 7: Initialize the Database

Next, we need to initialize the PostgreSQL database for Baserow. Run the following commands to create the required database tables:

python3 manage.py migrate
python3 manage.py create_demo_data

Step 8: Run Baserow

Finally, we can start Baserow by running the following command:

python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Once Baserow is running, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8000/ in your web browser.
