How to Install Olaris on Kali Linux

Olaris is an open-source offensive security tool used for reconnaissance and information gathering. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Olaris server on Kali Linux latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following requirements:

• Kali Linux latest version installed on your system
• Internet connectivity
• sudo user access

Step 1: Clone the Repository

The first step is to clone the Olaris repository using the following command:

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/olaris/olaris-server.git

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Next, we need to install some required packages and dependencies to run the Olaris server. Run the following command to install them:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-nmap python3-psycopg2 postgresql postgresql-contrib

Step 3: Setup PostgreSQL

After installing PostgreSQL, we need to create a new database and user for the Olaris server. Use the following commands to create a new database and user:

$ sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE olarisdb;
postgres=# CREATE USER olarisuser WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password';
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE olarisdb TO olarisuser;

Replace the password with your desired password for the user.

Step 4: Install Python Dependencies

$ sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 5: Setup Environment Variables

Finally, we need to set up the environment variables for the Olaris server.

Use the following command to create and edit the .env file:

$ nano .env

Add the following lines to the .env file:

SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://olarisuser:password@localhost/olarisdb

Replace the your_secret_key with your desired secret key for the Olaris server, and password with the password you set for the PostgreSQL user.

Step 6: Run Olaris Server

Finally, we are ready to run the Olaris server. Use the following command to start the server:
