Chyrp Lite is a lightweight blogging platform written in PHP. It is easy to use and customizable. This tutorial will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Chyrp Lite on Kali Linux.
First, download the latest version of Chyrp Lite from the official website - https://chyrplite.net. You can also use the following command to download it in the terminal:
wget https://github.com/chyrplite/chyrplite/archive/master.zip
Next, extract the downloaded zip file using the following command:
unzip master.zip
This will create a new folder named "chyrplite-master".
Move the "chyrplite-master" folder to the web server directory (/var/www/html) using the following command:
sudo mv chyrplite-master /var/www/html/chyrplite
Create a new MySQL database for Chyrp Lite using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This will take you to the MySQL shell. Enter your MySQL root password when prompted. Then, create a new database using the following command:
CREATE DATABASE chyrplite;
Next, create a new user and grant full privileges to the database using the following commands:
CREATE USER 'chyrpliteuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chyrplite.* TO 'chyrpliteuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Replace "yourpassword" with a strong password of your choice.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/chyrplite. You should see the Chyrp Lite installation page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install Chyrp Lite. When prompted for database information, enter the following details:
Click "Install" to proceed with the installation.
