How to Install Lila on Kali Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Lila which is an open-source chess server developed by lichess.org on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 1: Update and Upgrade System Packages

Before we start installing Lila, it is important to update and upgrade system packages to their latest versions by using the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

The -y option is used to avoid questions during the upgrade process.

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Next, we need to install some required packages before we can proceed with the installation of Lila. Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get install -y git default-jre default-jdk make

This command installs Git, Java Runtime Environment, Java Development Kit, and Make which will be required for building the Lila project.

Step 3: Clone Lila

After the packages have been installed, you can proceed to clone the Lila repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ornicar/lila.git

Once the repository is cloned, you will have a directory named lila in your current working directory.

Step 4: Build Lila

Now that we have cloned the Lila repository, we can proceed to build it. Navigate to the lila directory using the following command:

cd lila

Once in the lila directory, execute the following command:

make

The make command will download all required dependencies and build Lila.

Step 5: Start Lila

After Lila is built successfully using the make command, we can start the Lila server by running the following command:

make start

This command will start the Lila server and after a few seconds, Lila will be accessible via http://localhost:9000 on your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Lila on Kali Linux. You now have a fully functional instance of Lila up and running on your Kali Linux system.
