Follow these steps to install Spectrum 2 on Kali Linux Latest:
First, install the dependencies by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake libtool libssl-dev libglib2.0-dev libjson-c-dev libpurple-dev libpython-dev libsqlite3-dev libunistring-dev libwebsockets-dev python-six python-yaml uuid-dev
Next, download the latest version of Spectrum 2 from their official website. You can either download the source code as a zip file or clone the repository using the Git command:
git clone https://github.com/hanzz/spectrum2.git
After downloading the source code, navigate to the directory where it is saved and build the software by running the following command in the terminal:
cd spectrum2/
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-logging --with-lua --with-gloox --with-farstream --with-libwebsockets --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
This will configure and compile the source code, and install the Spectrum 2 binaries on your system.
Once Spectrum 2 is installed, you need to configure it before you can use it. You can use the sample configuration files provided in the source code directory as a starting point to create your own configuration file.
Copy the sample configuration files to the configuration directory and edit them according to your requirements:
sudo cp doc/examples/config.cfg /etc/spectrum2/
sudo cp doc/examples/transport-gtalk.cfg /etc/spectrum2/transports/
sudo nano /etc/spectrum2/config.cfg
sudo nano /etc/spectrum2/transports/transport-gtalk.cfg
Update the configuration files with your own settings and save the changes.
Finally, start Spectrum 2 by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo spectrum2_manager start
This will start the Spectrum 2 process and it will start listening for incoming connections.
Spectrum 2 is now installed and configured on your Kali Linux system. You can now use it to connect to different instant messaging platforms. Enjoy!
