Omeka is an open-source web publishing and digital archiving platform that allows users to manage and share cultural heritage materials online. If you're interested in installing Omeka on Kali Linux, you're in the right place! This tutorial will guide you through the process step-by-step.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
First, download the latest version of Omeka from the official website - https://omeka.org/ - by using the following command in the terminal:
wget https://omeka.org/wp-content/files/omeka-2.8.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file by running the following command:
unzip omeka-2.8.zip
Next, transfer the extracted Omeka folder to your server's web root directory (/var/www/html) using the following command:
sudo mv omeka-2.8 /var/www/html/omeka
To ensure that Apache can serve the Omeka website running on your Kali Linux machine, you need to create a new Apache configuration file for Omeka in the '/etc/apache2/sites-available' directory. Create the 'omeka.conf' file and add the following code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/omeka
ServerName your-server-name
ServerAlias www.your-server-name.com
<Directory /var/www/html/omeka/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/omeka_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/omeka_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
After that, enable the new Apache configuration by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite omeka.conf
Finally, restart the Apache service using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Create a MySQL database for Omeka using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
After entering the MySQL prompt, type the following command to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE omeka;
Next, create a new user and grant that user all privileges on the Omeka database:
CREATE USER 'omekauser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON omeka.* TO 'omekauser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Once the Apache and MySQL services are up and running, you can access Omeka by typing your server's IP address or domain name in your web browser's address bar. The Omeka installation wizard will start automatically. Follow the instructions and provide the necessary details such as database credentials and site settings to complete the installation process.
