GetSimple CMS is a lightweight and user-friendly content management system for building websites. It is easy to install and provides a simple interface for managing websites. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install GetSimple CMS on Kali Linux.
The first step is to install an Apache web server on Kali Linux. Follow the steps below to install Apache:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
Once installed, start the Apache service and enable it to start at boot time using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
You can verify that Apache is working by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost. If Apache has been installed successfully, you should see the Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page.
The next step is to install PHP on the system. GetSimple CMS requires PHP 7.0 or higher to run. Follow the steps below to install PHP:
sudo apt-get install php7.2 php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xml
Once installed, restart Apache to enable PHP:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
GetSimple CMS requires a MySQL or MariaDB database to store website data. If you don't have MySQL or MariaDB installed, follow the steps below to install MariaDB:
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
Once installed, start the MariaDB service and enable it to start at boot time using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Next, run the MySQL security script to secure the installation:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Follow the prompts to configure the security settings for your installation.
Now that you have installed all the prerequisites for GetSimple CMS, you can proceed to download and install the CMS:
sudo unzip get-simple-3.4.0.zip -d /var/www/html/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/get-simple
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/get-simple. You should see the GetSimple CMS installer page.
Follow the prompts to complete the installation process. When prompted for the database information, provide the credentials for the MySQL or MariaDB database you created in step 3.
Once the installation is complete, log in to the GetSimple CMS admin panel using the username and password you set during the installation process.
