SIP Irrigation Control is an open-source web-based irrigation automation system that allows users to easily manage their irrigation needs. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install SIP Irrigation Control on Kali Linux latest version.
Before we get started with the installation process, make sure that you have the following requirements:
The SIP Irrigation Control requires some libraries and packages to be installed on your system. To install them, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv gcc libssl-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev
Next, you need to download the SIP Irrigation Control repository. To do it, execute the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/dan-in-ca/SIP.git
It is recommended to create a virtual environment to run SIP Irrigation Control. This way, you can isolate your system from the application's dependencies. To create a virtual environment, run the following command:
python3 -m venv sip-env
Once you have created the virtual environment, activate it using the command:
source sip-env/bin/activate
Now, navigate to the location where you have downloaded the SIP repository using the cd command. Next, install the required dependencies by running the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Before running SIP Irrigation Control, you need to configure it. Navigate to the SIP folder and create a configuration file using the following command:
cp sip.cfg.example sip.cfg
Next, edit the configuration file to specify your system's settings, such as the timezone, database, and credentials.
SIP Irrigation Control requires a PostgreSQL database to work. To create a new database, run the following command:
createdb sip
Next, initialize the database by executing the following command:
python3 manage.py migrate
Finally, you can start the SIP Irrigation Control server by running the following command:
python3 manage.py runserver
Now, you can access the application in your web browser at http://localhost:8000/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SIP Irrigation Control on Kali Linux latest version. Now you can easily manage your irrigation needs using this open-source tool.
