How to install OrangeHRM on Kali Linux Latest

OrangeHRM is a popular human resource management software that allows businesses to manage employment and HR-related tasks. Here's a step-by-step guide to installing OrangeHRM on your Kali Linux machine.

Step 1: Download OrangeHRM

First, you need to download the latest version of OrangeHRM from their official website. Go to https://www.orangehrm.com/ and click on the "Download" button.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

The next step is to install the dependencies required for OrangeHRM to run on Kali Linux. Open the terminal and type the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php php-mysql mysql-server php-curl php-gd php-pear php-imagick php-cli php-xml libapache2-mod-php -y

This will install Apache2, PHP, MySQL, and all the required PHP extensions.

Step 3: Create a MySQL Database

Now, we need to create a new MySQL database for OrangeHRM to use. Open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

This will prompt you to enter the root password for MySQL. Once you're in the MySQL console, run the following command to create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE orangehrm;

Step 4: Configure Apache2

Next, we need to configure Apache2 to serve OrangeHRM. Open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/orangehrm.conf

This will open up a new file in the nano text editor. Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/orangehrm
        ServerName yourdomain.com
        <Directory /var/www/html/orangehrm>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name. Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X and then Y.

Next, enable the new configuration by typing the following command:

sudo a2ensite orangehrm.conf

Finally, reload Apache2 by typing the following command:

sudo service apache2 reload

Step 5: Install OrangeHRM

Now it's time to install OrangeHRM on your Kali Linux machine. Extract the OrangeHRM archive that you downloaded in step 1 to the /var/www/html directory:

sudo tar -xvzf orangehrm-4.5.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/orangehrm/
