Medusa is a Python-based media management application that can be used to automate downloads, transmissions, transcoding, and collections management. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Medusa on Kali Linux.
Before we begin with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to clone the Medusa repository from GitHub. To do that, open a terminal window and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pymedusa/Medusa.git
To install the dependencies required for Medusa, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip libssl-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg-dev libffi-dev libpng-dev
Now that we have cloned the Medusa repository and installed its dependencies, let's install Medusa. To do that, navigate to the Medusa directory by entering the following command:
cd Medusa
Next, run the following command to install Medusa:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
We need to configure Medusa as per our needs. To do that, we will edit the configuration file config.ini. To open the configuration file, enter the following command in the terminal:
nano config.ini
In the configuration file, you can customize the settings as per your requirements, such as the download folder, username, password, etc. Once you have made the required changes, save the file and exit the editor.
Finally, we can run Medusa using the following command:
python Medusa.py
That's it! You have successfully installed Medusa on Kali Linux. You can now automate and manage your media library with Medusa.
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!
