Gancio is a free and open-source social calendar platform that makes it easy to schedule events and share them with your friends and family. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Gancio on Kali Linux latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you must have the following:
Open your terminal and run the following commands to update your Kali Linux operating system:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
Next, we need to install some dependencies that are required for Gancio to run. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install -y git curl gcc make cmake pkg-config libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libwebp-dev libpq-dev libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev libmariadb-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev virtualenv python3-dev python3-pip redis-server
In this step, we will install the dependencies required by Gancio using pip. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pip3 install virtualenvwrapper gunicorn psycopg2-binary pytz python-magic
Now we will clone the Gancio repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/gancio/gancio && cd gancio
In this step, we will create a virtual environment for Gancio using virtualenvwrapper. Run the following command to create a new virtual environment:
mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 gancio
Next, activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
workon gancio
In this step, we will install Gancio into the virtual environment we just created. Run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Now we will configure Gancio by copying the example settings file and editing it. Run the following command to copy the example settings file:
cp gancio/settings/example_local.py gancio/settings/local.py
Next, open the local.py file using your favorite text editor and configure the settings according to your preferences.
We are now ready to run Gancio. Run the following command to start Gancio:
python manage.py runserver
Gancio will now be accessible at http://localhost:8000.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Gancio on Kali Linux latest. You can now use Gancio to schedule events and share them with your friends and family.
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!
