OpenSearch is a search engine and analytics platform that is designed to handle complex data analytics and search use cases. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OpenSearch on Kali Linux.
Before installing OpenSearch on Kali Linux, you need to have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to download the OpenSearch package from the official website. Open a terminal and run the following command to download the package:
curl https://artifacts.opensearch.org/downloads/search/1.0.0/opensearch-1.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz --output opensearch-1.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
The next step is to extract the downloaded package. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the package and run the following command:
tar -xzf opensearch-1.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
This will extract the package into a new directory named opensearch-1.0.0.
Now that we have extracted the package, we can install OpenSearch. Navigate to the opensearch-1.0.0 directory and run the following command:
sudo chmod +x bin/opensearch-service
sudo bin/opensearch-service install
This will install OpenSearch as a system service and start it automatically.
To test if OpenSearch is installed and working, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9200. If everything is working correctly, you should see a JSON response showing OpenSearch version and other information.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed OpenSearch on Kali Linux!
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!
