How to Install MiAOU on Kali Linux

MiAOU is a lightweight chat application that can be easily installed on Kali Linux. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MiAOU on Kali Linux.

Before we begin, make sure that you have administrative privileges on your Kali Linux system.

Step 1: Install Node.js

MiAOU is built using Node.js, so you will need to install it first. To do this, open the terminal on Kali Linux and enter the following command:

sudo apt install nodejs

This will install the latest version of Node.js on your system.

Step 2: Install Git

Next, you will need to install Git, which is a version control system that is used to download and manage MiAOU's source code. To install Git, enter the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt install git

Step 3: Download MiAOU

Once Git is installed, you can use it to download the MiAOU source code. To do this, navigate to the directory where you want to store the source code (for example, your home directory) and enter the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Canop/miaou.git

This will download the MiAOU source code to your local system.

Step 4: Install MiAOU Dependencies

Before you can run MiAOU, you will need to install its dependencies. To do this, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the MiAOU source code (using the cd command), and enter the following command:

npm install

This will install all the required dependencies for MiAOU.

Step 5: Start MiAOU

Once the dependencies are installed, you can start MiAOU by entering the following command in the terminal:
