How to Install Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) on Kali Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) on your Kali Linux Latest system. OSRM is an open-source routing engine used to calculate the shortest path between two points.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

• Kali Linux Latest installed on your system
• An active internet connection

Installation Process

Follow the below mentioned steps to install OSRM on your Kali Linux.

Step 1: Update Your System

First, open the terminal on your Kali Linux system and run the following command to update your system.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install the Required Packages

Next, install the required packages for OSRM by running the following command on your terminal.

sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake pkg-config \
libbz2-dev libxml2-dev libzip-dev libboost-all-dev \
lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libtbb-dev

Step 3: Clone the OSRM Repository

Now, clone the OSRM repository using the following command.

git clone https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend.git

Step 4: Build and Install OSRM

After cloning the repository, change your directory to osrm-backend and build the project using the following command.

cd osrm-backend
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install

Step 5: Download OSRM Data

Next, you need to download the OSRM data to your system. You can download the data for your specific region from the following link.

wget http://download.geofabrik.de/your_specific_region-latest.osm.pbf

Replace "your_specific_region" in the above command with the name of your region. For example, if you want to download the data for Europe, the command should be:

wget http://download.geofabrik.de/europe-latest.osm.pbf

Step 6: Generate OSRM Files

After downloading the data, you need to generate the OSRM files for your region. Use the following command to generate the files.

osrm-extract your_specific_region-latest.osm.pbf -p /usr/local/share/osrm/profiles/car.lua
osrm-prepare your_specific_region-latest.osrm

Replace "your_specific_region" with the name of your region.

Step 7: Start the OSRM Server

Finally, start the OSRM server using the following command.

osrm-routed your_specific_region-latest.osrm

Replace "your_specific_region" with the name of your region.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) on your Kali Linux Latest system. You can now use it to calculate the shortest path between two points in your region.

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!
