Rygel is an open-source, free and powerful UPnP/DLNA Framework that can be used to share multimedia contents from one device to another. In this tutorial, we will be demonstrating how to install Rygel on the Kali Linux Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that your Kali Linux system is up-to-date with the latest patches and software updates. Additionally, ensure you have an active internet connection to download the required packages.
The first step is to add the Rygel repository to your system. This can be done by running the following terminal command:
echo 'deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/luke081515:/rygel/Kali_Linux_latest/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:luke081515:rygel.list
Next, add the repository key to your system:
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:luke081515:rygel/Kali_Linux_latest/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_luke081515_rygel.gpg > /dev/null
Now that the Rygel repository has been added, update the package list and install Rygel by running the following terminal commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install rygel
Rygel should now be installed on your Kali Linux system.
By default, Rygel configuration file is located at /etc/rygel.conf. You can edit it or create a new one, depending on your use-case.
Note: It is recommended to backup the original configuration file, just in case you make a mistake when editing or configuring Rygel.
Once you have configured Rygel to your desired settings, you will need to start the Rygel service:
sudo systemctl start rygel
You can also check the status of the Rygel service to ensure that it is running correctly using the following command:
sudo systemctl status rygel
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rygel on your Kali Linux system. You can now configure and use Rygel to share multimedia contents from one device to another.
