Kanboard is a simple and easy-to-use open source Kanban board app that helps you keep track of your tasks and projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Kanboard on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we install Kanboard, let's update and upgrade our Kali Linux system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Kanboard requires a web server to run. We will install Apache web server using the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Next, we need to install PHP and some required modules for Kanboard to function properly. Run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install php php-mbstring php-zip php-gd php-mysql php-curl php-xml
We need to install MySQL server to create a database for Kanboard. To install MySQL server, run:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
After installing MySQL server, we will create a new database and a user for Kanboard. Run the following commands to create a new database, user and grant the necessary permissions:
sudo mysql
CREATE DATABASE kanboard;
CREATE USER 'kanboarduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kanboard.* TO 'kanboarduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Now that we have all the dependencies installed and a database created, let's download and install Kanboard. Run the following commands:
cd /var/www/html
sudo wget https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard/archive/master.zip
sudo unzip master.zip
sudo mv kanboard-master kanboard
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data kanboard
sudo chmod -R 755 kanboard
Before we can access Kanboard, we need to configure it. Run the following commands to copy the sample configuration file and set the necessary configuration options:
cd /var/www/html/kanboard/config
sudo cp config.default.php config.php
sudo nano config.php
In the configuration file, set the following options:
define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysql');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'kanboarduser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_password_here');
define('DB_NAME', 'kanboard');
Save and exit the file.
