In this tutorial, we will be going through the steps of installing BigTree CMS on Kali Linux Latest. BigTree CMS is an open-source content management system that can be used for building, managing, and publishing websites. It is a popular CMS that has been downloaded and used by many users.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have an updated version of Kali Linux.
The first step is to install the Apache server, which will act as a web server for our BigTree CMS. Enter the following command in the terminal to install the Apache server:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2
After the installation, start the Apache server with the following command:
sudo service apache2 start
Verify that the Apache server is running by opening the browser and typing http://localhost in the address bar. If the Apache default page is displayed, then the server is running correctly.
BigTree CMS is written in PHP, so we need to install PHP to run it on our system. Enter the following command in the terminal to install PHP:
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
After the installation is complete, restart the Apache server:
sudo service apache2 restart
Go to the official website of BigTree CMS at https://www.bigtreecms.org/download/ and download the latest version of the CMS. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download it via the terminal:
wget https://www.bigtreecms.org/assets/downloads/bigtree_4.3.12.zip
Unzip the downloaded file inside the Apache webroot directory by using the following command:
sudo unzip bigtree_4.3.12.zip -d /var/www/html
Set appropriate permissions for the BigTree CMS files by using the following commands:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/bigtree_4.3.12
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/bigtree_4.3.12
Create a database for BigTree CMS in MySQL by using the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE bigtree;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON bigtree.* TO 'bigtreeuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Replace the password in the above command with a strong password of your choice.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/bigtree_4.3.12/install. Follow the on-screen instructions to install BigTree CMS. During the installation process, you will need to provide the database details you created in Step 5.
After the installation, you will be redirected to the login page. Enter the username and password that you set during the installation process to log in to the CMS.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed BigTree CMS on Kali Linux Latest.
