Kallithea is an open-source code management tool that allows users to manage repositories, pull requests, and collaborate on code using Git and/or Mercurial. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Kallithea on Kali Linux.
Before installing Kallithea, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To ensure that we have all the prerequisites for Kallithea, we need to install some packages. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-setuptools python-dev mercurial git
To install Kallithea, we can use pip. Pip is a package installer for Python that allows users to install and manage software packages written in Python.

To configure Kallithea, we need to create a new configuration file. We can do this by running the following command:
sudo kallithea-cli config-create /etc/kallithea/
The above command creates a configuration file at /etc/kallithea/kallithea.ini.
Next, we need to modify the kallithea.ini file to our liking. Open the file by running:
sudo nano /etc/kallithea/kallithea.ini
You can modify the settings in this file as per your requirement. Make sure to save the changes once done.
Once configuration is done, we can start Kallithea with the following command:
sudo kallithea-cli serve /etc/kallithea/kallithea.ini
This will start Kallithea on the default port 5000. You can access Kallithea by navigating to http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.
