In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps for installing NSQ on Kali Linux. NSQ is an open-source messaging platform designed for distributed systems.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
NSQ requires certain packages to be installed on your system. Execute the following command in your terminal to install the necessary dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Visit the official NSQ website at http://nsq.io/ to download the latest stable version of NSQ. Alternatively, you can execute the following command to download the latest release:
wget https://github.com/nsqio/nsq/releases/download/v1.2.0/nsq-1.2.0.linux-amd64.go1.16.2.tar.gz
This will download NSQ to your current working directory.
Extract the NSQ tarball using the following command:
tar -xzvf nsq-1.2.0.linux-amd64.go1.16.2.tar.gz
This will extract the NSQ binaries to a directory called nsq-1.2.0.linux-amd64.go1.16.2. Use the following command to move the entire directory to /usr/local/:
sudo mv nsq-1.2.0.linux-amd64.go1.16.2 /usr/local/nsq
In order to use NSQ commands, you need to add it to your system's $PATH variable. Append the following lines to your shell configuration file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.):
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/nsq/bin
Reload your shell profile using the following command:
source ~/.bashrc
To verify that NSQ is installed correctly, execute the following command in your terminal:
nsq_stat --version
This should display the version number of NSQ, indicating that the installation was successful.
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps to install NSQ on Kali Linux. You can now use NSQ to build distributed messaging applications. For more information on how to use NSQ, refer to the official documentation at http://nsq.io/docs.html.
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!
