Gitit is an open source wiki software that allows you to create and edit wiki pages using a web-based interface. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Gitit on Kali Linux Latest.
Before installing Gitit, we must ensure that the Kali Linux system is updated.
sudo apt-get update

Gitit is written in Haskell, which is a modern, standardized functional programming language. Therefore, we need to install Haskell and its required dependencies on Kali Linux.

We will now download Gitit from Github to our Kali Linux system.
git clone https://github.com/jgm/gitit.git
Once the Gitit has been downloaded, we can install it using the following command.
cd gitit
sudo make install
Once Gitit is installed, we can start the Gitit server using the command below.
gitit -f ~/wiki

Finally, open your web browser, and navigate to http://localhost:5001 or http://your-IP-address:5001 to access Gitit.
