How to Install Livebook on Kali Linux Latest

Livebook is a powerful and versatile tool for interactive data analysis and visualization. It allows you to experiment with code and data in a web-based notebook environment, with features such as in-place editing, inline results, and live collaboration with others. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Livebook on Kali Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• Kali Linux Latest installed on your machine.
• A terminal with administrator privileges.
• Stable internet connection.

Step 1: Install Elixir

The first step is to install Elixir, which is the programming language in which Livebook is written.

1. Open a terminal with administrator privileges.

2. Update the package list by running the following command:

   sudo apt update
   

3. Install Elixir by running the following command:

   sudo apt install elixir
   

   Wait for the installation to complete.

Step 2: Install Phoenix

Phoenix is a web development framework for Elixir. Livebook is built on top of Phoenix, so we need to install it next.

1. To install Phoenix, run the following command:

   mix archive.install hex phx_new 1.5.9
   

   This command installs Phoenix version 1.5.9, which is the recommended version to use with Livebook.

2. Once Phoenix is installed, you can verify it by running the following command:

   mix phx.new --version
   

   This should output the version of Phoenix that you just installed.

Step 3: Clone Livebook

Now that we have installed the necessary dependencies, we can download the Livebook source code.

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the Livebook repository.

2. Clone the Livebook repository by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/livebook-dev/livebook.git
   

   This command will create a new directory called livebook in your current directory and download the Livebook source code into it.

Step 4: Install Livebook Dependencies

The next step is to install the dependencies required by Livebook.

1. Navigate to the livebook directory by running the following command:

   cd livebook
   

2. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

   mix deps.get
   

   This will download and install all the necessary dependencies for Livebook.

Step 5: Configure Livebook

Before running Livebook, we need to configure it with the appropriate settings.

1. Copy the dev.secret.exs.example file to dev.secret.exs:

   cp config/dev.secret.exs.example config/dev.secret.exs
   

2. Open config/dev.secret.exs in a text editor.

3. Change the value of secret_key_base to a random, secure value:

   config :livebook, LivebookWeb.Endpoint,
     secret_key_base: "your_secret_key_base_here"
   

   You can generate a random value by running the following command:

   mix phx.gen.secret
   

4. Save and close the file.

Step 6: Start Livebook

We are now ready to start Livebook.

1. Run the following command to start the Livebook server:

   mix phx.server
   

   This command will start the Livebook server on port 4000.

2. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:4000.

   You should now see the Livebook dashboard, which allows you to create, edit, and run Livebook notebooks.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Livebook on Kali Linux Latest. You can now use Livebook to experiment with code and data in a web-based notebook environment.
