How to Install Psono on Kali Linux

Psono is a robust password manager that allows individuals to store their passwords securely. It offers various features such as two-factor authentication, password sharing, and more, making it a must-have application for everyone.

If you are using Kali Linux and want to install Psono on your device, here's an easy-to-follow guide.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the installation process, you need to ensure you have the following:

A Kali Linux operating system
Terminal access with the sudo privilege
Git installed on your system

Installation

Follow the steps below to install Psono on your Kali Linux device.

Step 1: Clone the Psono Repository

Open your terminal window and clone the Psono repository using the command below.

sudo git clone https://github.com/psono/psono-client.git /var/www/psono

This command clones the Psono client directory and saves it to /var/www/psono. You can use any directory to save the repository.

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Next, we need to install some required packages to run Psono on our Kali Linux device. Run the command below to install them.

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-distutils python3-setuptools python3-wheel python3-dev \
libffi-dev libssl-dev ufw nginx-full curl

Step 3: Install Virtual Environment

We need to install the virtual environment manager to create a separate environment for Psono. Use the command below to install it.

sudo pip3 install virtualenv

Step 4: Create Virtual Environment

Create a new virtual environment for Psono using the following command.

sudo virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 /var/www/psono/venv

This command creates a virtual environment in /var/www/psono/venv directory and uses Python version 3.

Step 5: Activate Virtual Environment

Activate the created virtual environment using the following command.

source /var/www/psono/venv/bin/activate

Step 6: Install Psono Dependencies

Install all the Psono dependencies in the virtual environment by running the following command.

cd /var/www/psono
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 7: Configure Nginx and UFW

Configure the Nginx server and the UFW firewall to allow traffic to the Psono web application. Run the following commands sequentially.

sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw enable
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx

Step 8: Configure Nginx Virtual Host

Create a new Nginx virtual host configuration file using the following command.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/psono

Add the following content to the file.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your-domain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $proxy_protocol;
        client_max_body_size 50m;
    }
}

Ensure you replace your-domain.com with your actual domain name.

Step 9: Create a Symbolic Link

Create a symbolic link to the Nginx-enabled configuration file using the following command.

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/psono /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Step 10: Setup Psono Superuser

Set up the Psono superuser account using the following command.

sudo python3 manage.py createsuperuser

This command prompts you to enter your email and password to create a superuser account.

Step 11: Run Psono Server

Finally, run the Psono server using the following command.

sudo python3 manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8000

Access the Psono web application by typing localhost or your domain name in your web browser's address bar.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Psono on your Kali Linux device.
