Installation tutorial for Pepperminty Wiki on Kali Linux

Pepperminty Wiki is a lightweight, flat-file wiki software based on Markdown syntax. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Pepperminty Wiki on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following installed on your system:

• Kali Linux or any other Unix-based operating system
• Git
• PHP 5.3 or later
• Apache web server with mod_rewrite enabled
• Composer

Step 1: Clone the Git repository

Start by cloning the Pepperminty Wiki Git repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki.git

This will create a new directory named Pepperminty-Wiki in your current working directory.

Step 2: Install dependencies

Next, navigate to the Pepperminty-Wiki directory and install the required dependencies using Composer:

$ cd Pepperminty-Wiki
$ composer install

This will install all the required dependencies in a vendor directory inside the Pepperminty-Wiki directory.

Step 3: Configure Apache web server

Create a new virtual host in the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory with the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName wiki.example.com # Replace with your domain name
    DocumentRoot /path/to/Pepperminty-Wiki

    <Directory /path/to/Pepperminty-Wiki>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All # Required for .htaccess to work
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace wiki.example.com with the domain name you want to use for your Pepperminty Wiki installation, and /path/to/Pepperminty-Wiki with the full path to the Pepperminty Wiki directory.

Step 4: Enable the new virtual host

Enable the new virtual host configuration by running the following command:

$ sudo a2ensite wiki.example.com.conf # Replace with your domain name

This will create a symbolic link to the new virtual host configuration file in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directory.

Step 5: Restart Apache web server

Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:

$ sudo service apache2 restart

This will restart the Apache web server with the new virtual host configuration.

Step 6: Access and configure Pepperminty Wiki

You can now access Pepperminty Wiki by navigating to the domain name you configured in step 3 in your web browser. You should see the Pepperminty Wiki homepage.

To configure Pepperminty Wiki, open the config/config.yml file in a text editor and modify the settings according to your preferences.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pepperminty Wiki on Kali Linux. You can now use this lightweight, flat-file wiki software to create and manage your own wiki pages. Enjoy!
