How to Install Pinry on Kali Linux Latest

Pinry is an open-source web application used for bookmarking items that you find interesting on the internet. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Pinry on Kali Linux Latest using the command line.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, you will need the following:

• A Kali Linux Latest installation
• Access to the command line interface with root permissions
• A web browser to access Pinry

Step 1: Update Packages

Start by opening the terminal window and updating the package list. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update

This will ensure that you have the most up-to-date version of packages available.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Next, you will need to install some dependencies. These dependencies include Git, Python, and PostgreSQL.

Run the following command to install Git:

sudo apt-get install git

Now, install Python by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip python-setuptools

Finally, install PostgreSQL:

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

Step 3: Clone the Pinry Repository

Clone the Pinry repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/pinry/pinry.git

This will download the Pinry source code from GitHub to your local machine.

Step 4: Create a PostgreSQL Database and User

Create a PostgreSQL database and user account by running the following commands:

sudo su - postgres
psql
CREATE DATABASE pinry;
CREATE USER pinryuser WITH PASSWORD 'password';
ALTER ROLE pinryuser SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
ALTER ROLE pinryuser SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
ALTER ROLE pinryuser SET timezone TO 'UTC';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE pinry TO pinryuser;
\q
exit

This will create a new database named pinry and a new user account named pinryuser.

Step 5: Install Pinry Requirements

Navigate to the Pinry project directory by running the following command:

cd pinry

Now, install the required Python packages by running the following command:

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 6: Configure Pinry Settings

Create a new configuration file by copying the sample file:

cp pinry/settings/sample-local.py pinry/settings/local.py

Edit the local.py file using your favorite text editor. In the file, you will need to modify the following lines:

DEBUG = False
SECRET_KEY = 'your-secret-key'
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'pinry',
        'USER': 'pinryuser',
        'PASSWORD': 'password',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

Replace your-secret-key with a secure and random string to use as your application's secret key. Make sure the NAME, USER, and PASSWORD values for the DATABASE section match the database and user you created in the previous steps.

Step 7: Migrate the Database

Run the following commands to create the database schema:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

This will create the necessary database tables for Pinry to work.

Step 8: Run the Pinry Server

You can now run the Pinry server by running the following command:

python manage.py runserver

This will start the Pinry server on port 8000 of your local machine.

You have successfully installed Pinry on Kali Linux Latest. You can now access the Pinry application in your web browser at http://localhost:8000. Enjoy pinning interesting items!
