Fava is a web-based graphical user interface for the accounting system called Beancount. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Fava on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we start with the installation process, we need to make sure that the following requirements are met:
Fava requires Beancount to be installed first, so let's install it using pip.
Open the terminal and type the following command:
sudo pip3 install beancount
This will install Beancount on your system.
After Beancount has been installed, we can proceed to install Fava using pip.
Type the following command in the terminal:
sudo pip3 install fava
This will install Fava on your system.
After Fava has been installed, we can start it by running the following command:
fava
This will start Fava and you will see something like this in the terminal:
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
This means that Fava is running and listening on port 5000. You can now open your web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ to access the Fava interface.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install Fava on Kali Linux Latest. By following these steps, you should now have Fava up and running on your system. Remember to always keep your system updated and secure. Happy accounting!
