OpenGTS is an open-source GPS tracking platform that can be used for various applications such as vehicle tracking, personal tracking, asset tracking, and more. If you are looking to install OpenGTS on Kali Linux, then follow these steps:
If you don’t have Java already installed on your system, then you need to install Java first. Run the following command to install Java:
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
OpenGTS requires a web server to run, and Tomcat is a popular choice for hosting web applications. Run the following command to install Tomcat:
sudo apt-get install tomcat8
Once Tomcat is installed, start the Tomcat service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start tomcat8
Visit the OpenGTS website at http://www.opengts.org and download the latest version of OpenGTS. Once the download is completed, follow these steps to install OpenGTS:
Extract the downloaded zip file to a newly created directory for OpenGTS.
Navigate to the OpenGTS directory and run the build script with the following command:
sudo ./build.sh <dbtype>
Replace <dbtype> with the type of database you are using (e.g. mysql, postgres, etc.)
After the build completes, copy the build/track.war file to the Tomcat webapps directory with the following command:
sudo cp build/track.war /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/
This step will deploy the OpenGTS application to the Tomcat webapps directory.
After installation, OpenGTS will need to be configured. You can find the configuration files in the track/ directory. You will need to edit the org.opengts.extra.servletpdf.OptionTools.conf file to set the database connection details for your specific database.
To start using OpenGTS, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/track to access the OpenGTS web interface.
That’s it! You now have OpenGTS installed on your Kali Linux system. You can start exploring the various features of OpenGTS and customize it according to your needs.
