Installing Ghost on Kali Linux

Introduction

Ghost is an open-source headless Node.js based blogging platform. It is an ideal platform for creating a professional-looking blog or website. In this tutorial, we will be going through the steps required to install Ghost on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

• Kali Linux installed on your system
• Node.js installed on your system

Step 1 - Install Node.js

Before we begin with the installation process, we need to ensure that we have Node.js installed on our system. If it is not installed, we can install it using the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs

Step 2 - Install Ghost-CLI

The next step in the process is to install the Ghost CLI. Ghost-CLI is a command-line tool that simplifies the installation process of Ghost. We can install it using the following command:

sudo npm install -g ghost-cli

Step 3 - Create a new directory

To install Ghost, we need to create a new directory where the installation files will be copied. We can create a new directory using the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/ghost

Step 4 - Navigate to the directory

Once the directory is created, we can navigate to it using the following command:

cd /var/www/ghost

Step 5 - Install Ghost

Now, run the following command to install the latest version of Ghost:

ghost install

The Ghost CLI will now begin the installation process, which may take a few minutes to complete. Once the installation is complete, the Ghost CLI will provide us with the URL where we can access our blog or website.

Conclusion

We have covered the steps required to install Ghost on Kali Linux. With the installation complete, we can begin customizing our blog or website by installing themes and plugins.
