Chartbrew is an open-source platform that helps you visualize your data, build dashboards and share insights. This guide will walk you through installing Chartbrew on the latest version of Kali Linux.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
To download and install Git on Kali Linux, run the following commands in the terminal:

After installing Git, clone the Chartbrew repository by running the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/chartbrew/chartbrew.git
This command will create a new directory called chartbrew in your current working directory.
Navigate to the newly-created chartbrew directory by running the following command:
cd chartbrew
Once inside the chartbrew directory, install the required dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
This command will download and install all the necessary dependencies for Chartbrew.
Copy the .env.example file to a new .env file by running the following command:

Next, open the .env file in a text editor and configure the following variables:

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
