How to Install SOGo on Kali Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install SOGo on Kali Linux Latest. SOGo is a free and open-source groupware server providing a web interface for managing and sharing email, contacts, calendars, and tasks.

Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation process, ensure that you satisfy the following prerequisites:

• A Kali Linux Latest installation
• Root or sudo access to the Kali Linux command-line interface
• A stable internet connection
• Basic knowledge of the Linux command-line interface

Step 1: Update Packages and Repositories

First, open the terminal on Kali Linux and execute the following command to update the existing packages and repositories:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Add SOGo Repository

By default, SOGo is not available in the Kali Linux package repositories. However, you can add the SOGo repository by running the following command:

sudo echo "deb https://packages.inverse.ca/SOGo/nightly/5/debian/ $(lsb_release -sc) $(lsb_release -sc)" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sogo.list

This command adds the SOGo package repository to the sources.list.d directory.

Step 3: Add Release Signing Key

Next, add the Release Signing Key by running the following command:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 0x810273C4

This command fetches the SOGo package repository's public key and adds it to your system's trusted keys.

Step 4: Install SOGo

Once you have added the SOGo repository and the Release Signing Key, run the following command to install SOGo:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install sogo

This command installs the SOGo package.

Step 5: Configure Firewall

Assuming that you have activated the Kali Linux firewall, you need to open the HTTP and HTTPS ports to enable remote access to SOGo. Use the following command to open the ports:

sudo ufw allow http
sudo ufw allow https

Step 6: Verifying Installation

To verify that you have successfully installed SOGo, open your preferred web browser and enter the following URL:

http://localhost/SOGo
