OpenOlitor is a web-based open-source farm management software that can be used to simplify and organize different aspects of farming such as crop management, task scheduling, and financial management. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps necessary to install OpenOlitor on Kali Linux.
Before we proceed, you need to ensure that you have the following:
OpenOlitor requires several dependencies to function correctly. You can install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev libpq-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libsqlite3-dev
The command above installs the basic dependencies that should allow OpenOlitor to run smoothly.
OpenOlitor needs a specific Python version to operate, which is Python 3.8. To begin the Python installation, execute the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3.8 python3.8-venv python3.8-dev
The python3.8-venv package installs the venv module, which is necessary to create a virtual environment for OpenOlitor. The python3.8-dev package provides necessary header files for Python3.8.
After installing Python3.8, create a Python virtual environment with the following command:
python3.8 -m venv openolitor_env
The command above creates a virtual environment named openolitor_env.
Activate the virtual environment with the following command:
source openolitor_env/bin/activate
The easiest way to download and install OpenOlitor is by using pip. Run the following command:
pip install openolitor
This command downloads the necessary packages and installs them in the active virtual environment.
After installation, you can check whether the installation was successful by running the following command:
olitor --version
This command shows the version of OpenOlitor installed in your system.
Now that you have successfully installed OpenOlitor on Kali Linux latest version, you can start using it immediately by opening a web browser and entering http://localhost:8000 in the address bar. This will launch the OpenOlitor login page, and you can proceed to manage your farm with it.
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!
