Fider is a free, open-source, and self-hosted customer feedback platform. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Fider on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we start, ensure that you have the following:
Fider requires several dependencies to be installed before installation. Open the terminal and enter the following commands to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl gnupg -y
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs -y
sudo apt install build-essential -y
Fider requires a relational database to store its data. In this tutorial, we will use MariaDB as the database. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client -y
Once the installation is complete, run the following command to secure the installation:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Log in to MariaDB by entering the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the MariaDB root password and press Enter. Then create a new database for Fider by running the following command:
CREATE DATABASE fider;
Create a new database user for Fider and grant them privileges by running the following command:
CREATE USER 'fider'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fider.* TO 'fider'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Be sure to change the password to a secure password.
Exit MariaDB by entering the following command:
exit
Create a new directory for Fider by running the following command:
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/fider
Change the directory to the newly created directory by running the following command:
cd /var/www/fider
Download the Fider source code by running the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/getfider/fider/releases/download/v0.21.4/fider-v0.21.4-linux-amd64.zip
Unzip the downloaded file by running the following command:
sudo unzip fider-v0.21.4-linux-amd64.zip
Set the Fider environment variables by running the following command:
export FIDER_DATABASE_NAME=fider
export FIDER_DATABASE_USER=fider
export FIDER_DATABASE_PASSWORD=password
export FIDER_DATABASE_HOST=localhost
export FIDER_SECRET=somesecret
Replace password with the password you set for the fider database user.
Start Fider by running the following command:
./fider
