Genesis is an open-source framework used to deploy and manage cloud infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Genesis on Kali Linux Latest.
Before installing Genesis, ensure that the following requirements are met:
Start by updating the system packages. This ensures that the system has the latest packages and dependencies required for installing Genesis.
To update the system packages, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Next, install the dependencies required to build and run Genesis. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install golang git -y
The golang package is required to build the Genesis binary, while git is required to download the Genesis source code.
In this step, we will clone the Genesis repository from the GitHub link provided to our machine.
To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/starkandwayne/genesis.git
Now, navigate to the Genesis directory using the following command:
cd genesis
Now that we have cloned the Genesis repository, we need to build the binary file.
To build the binary, run the following command:
make all
Once the process is complete, you should see the genesis file in the bin directory.
To install Genesis on your machine, run the following command:
sudo make install
This will install the Genesis binary in the /usr/local/bin directory.
Once the installation is complete, verify that Genesis is installed by running the following command:
genesis version
If Genesis is installed successfully, you should see the version number displayed.
In this tutorial, we have walked you through how to install Genesis on Kali Linux Latest. You can now begin using Genesis to deploy and manage your cloud infrastructure.
