Dim is an open-source end-to-end encrypted messaging app. It is a great tool for secure communication between individuals and groups. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Dim on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we can install Dim, we need to install the required dependencies. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git npm nodejs
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
The above command updates the package list, installs Git, Node.js, and npm on your Kali Linux machine.
Next, we'll clone the Dim repository from GitHub. To do that, execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim.git
This command will download the Dim repository to your machine.
Now, let's install the remaining dependencies and start Dim.
cd dim
npm i
npm run start-dev
The above command will install all the remaining dependencies required by Dim and start the application in development mode.
Once the installation is complete and Dim is running successfully, you can access it by opening a web browser and entering the following URL: http://localhost:3000/
