Joomla! is an open-source content management system (CMS) used for creating, managing, and publishing web content. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Joomla! on Kali Linux.
Download the latest version of Joomla! from the official website - https://www.joomla.org/download.html.
Extract the downloaded Joomla! package to the /var/www/html directory. You can use the terminal command shown below to extract it.
sudo tar -zxvf Joomla_[version_number].tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE [database_name];
CREATE USER '[database_username]'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '[database_password]';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON [database_name].* TO '[database_username]'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Navigate to http://localhost/Joomla_[version_number]. You will see the Joomla! installation page. Follow the prompts to set up your site, including entering the database name, username, and password you created in step 4.
Once the installation is complete, you can access and manage your Joomla! website by going to http://localhost/Joomla_[version_number]/administrator/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Joomla! on Kali Linux. You can now start creating your website or blog using Joomla!.
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!
