This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Solidus on Kali Linux Latest. Solidus is an open source eCommerce platform built using Ruby on Rails. It is easy to use and customizable, making it a popular option for online businesses.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
If you don't have Ruby and Rails installed, you can install them by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev
gem install rails
To install Postgresql, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
Now that we have all the prerequisites, we can install Solidus. To do this, open a terminal and type the following command:
gem install solidus
This command will install Solidus along with all its dependencies.
Next, we need to create a new PostgreSQL database for our Solidus installation. To do this, open a terminal and type the following commands:
sudo su postgres
psql
This will open the PostgreSQL console. Now, enter the following commands to create a new database and user for Solidus:
CREATE DATABASE solidus;
CREATE USER solidususer WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE solidus TO solidususer;
Make sure to replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Now that we have installed Solidus and created a new PostgreSQL database, we can configure Solidus. To do this, open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to install Solidus. Once you are in the directory, type the following command:
solidus init --database=postgresql
This command will generate a new Solidus installation with PostgreSQL as its database. During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter the database name, username, and password. Make sure to enter the same values that you used when configuring PostgreSQL.
Now that we have configured Solidus, we can start the server. To do this, navigate to the directory where you installed Solidus and type the following command:
bin/rails server
This command will start the server and you should see a message that says "Listening on tcp://0.0.0.0:3000". This means that the Solidus server is running and you can access it by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Solidus on Kali Linux Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
