OpenStreetMap is a free and open-source mapping software that allows users to view, edit and share geographical data. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install OpenStreetMap on the latest version of Kali Linux.
Before we start with the installation process, we need to update and upgrade our Kali Linux distribution.
Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This command will update and upgrade all the packages and dependencies on your system.
OpenStreetMap requires a few dependencies to be installed before we can install it on our Kali Linux machine. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install -y wget default-jre default-jdk ant
Once we have installed the required dependencies, we can proceed with the installation of OpenStreetMap. Run the following command to download and install OpenStreetMap:
wget https://github.com/openstreetmap/osmosis/releases/download/0.48.3/osmosis-0.48.3.tgz
tar -xvzf osmosis-0.48.3.tgz
The above command will download the latest version of OpenStreetMap and extract it to the current directory.
Now that we have downloaded and extracted OpenStreetMap, we need to configure it by running the following command:
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/your/osmosis/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Replace /path/to/your/osmosis/bin with the path where you have extracted OpenStreetMap.
To verify that OpenStreetMap has been installed successfully, run the following command:
osmosis --help
This will display the help information for OpenStreetMap.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenStreetMap on your Kali Linux machine. Now you can use OpenStreetMap for viewing, editing and sharing geographical data.
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!
