OpenProject is a project management software that requires Ruby on Rails to run. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install OpenProject on Kali Linux.
Before installing OpenProject, it's important to ensure that your system is up to date. Run the following command to update Kali Linux:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Since OpenProject is written in Ruby on Rails, you need to install the dependencies required to run the software. Run the following command to install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential zlib1g-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev nodejs
The next step is to install RVM, which will help you manage different Ruby versions on your system. Run the following command:
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BDB
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
Once RVM is installed, run the following command to update your paths:
source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
Now that you have installed RVM, you can proceed to install OpenProject. Run the following commands to install OpenProject:
gem install bundler
gem install rails
gem install therubyracer
wget https://www.openproject.org/wp-content/uploads/release/openproject-ce-10.6.0.tar.gz
tar xzf openproject-ce-10.6.0.tar.gz -C /opt
Next, navigate to the OpenProject directory:
cd /opt/openproject-ce-10.6.0/
Finally, install OpenProject using bundler:
bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite
In order to configure OpenProject on Kali Linux, run the following commands:
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo ./bin/openproject configure
Note: During the configuration process, you will be prompted to enter several details, such as the email server, database, and administrator account. Make sure to provide accurate information.
Once the configuration is complete, start OpenProject by running the following command:
sudo ./bin/openproject run
OpenProject will start and prompt you to log in to the web interface.
By following these steps, you should now have OpenProject up and running on Kali Linux. You can now begin managing your projects using this powerful tool.
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!
