Neos is a PHP-based content management system that simplifies the creation of websites and web applications. In this guide, we'll show you how to install Neos on Kali Linux Latest.
Before installing any new software, it is always a good practice to update the system packages. To update the system in Kali Linux, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Neos is a web-based application, so we need to install a web server. In this tutorial, we'll use Apache web server.
To install Apache, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2
After Apache is installed, start the service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start apache2
Neos is a PHP-based application, so we need to install PHP and some required PHP extensions. Run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
sudo apt-get install php-gd php-mbstring php-xml php-zip
After the installation is complete, restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Neos requires a database server to store data. In this tutorial, we'll use MySQL server.
To install MySQL server, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
After the installation is complete, you can start the service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start mysql
Neos requires a dedicated database and user to store its data. To create a database and user, run the following commands:
mysql -u root -p
This will open the MySQL shell. Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.
CREATE DATABASE neos;
CREATE USER 'neosuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON neos.* TO 'neosuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Composer is a PHP dependency management tool that we will use to install Neos.
To install Composer, run the following commands:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Now we're ready to download and install Neos. Run the following commands:
cd /var/www/html/
sudo composer create-project neos/neos-base-distribution neos
The above command will download and install the latest version of Neos.
After the installation is complete, we need to configure Neos to use the MySQL database we created.
Edit the configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/neos/Configuration/Production/Settings.yaml
Find the following lines and change the database settings according to your database and user credentials:
TYPO3:
Flow:
persistence:
backendOptions:
dbname: 'neos'
user: 'neosuser'
password: 'password'
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then y, and then Enter.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/neos/Web/. It should display the Neos setup page. Follow the setup wizard to complete the installation.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Neos on Kali Linux Latest!
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!
