In this tutorial, we will guide you through a step-by-step process of installing StackStorm on Kali Linux. StackStorm is an event-driven automation platform that allows users to automate their workflows and operational tasks.
Before we begin, please ensure that you have Kali Linux installed and updated to the latest version. You will also need root privileges to install StackStorm.
First, we need to install some dependencies that are required by StackStorm. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev python3-dev
This command will install all the necessary dependencies for StackStorm.
To install StackStorm, we need to add its official repository to the system's source list. Run the following command to import the StackStorm repository key:
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/StackStorm/stable/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
After importing the repository key, we need to update the system package list by running:
sudo apt-get update
Now, we can install StackStorm by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install st2
This command will install StackStorm and its related applications.
After installing StackStorm, we need to configure it for our system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo st2ctl configcheck
This command will check the StackStorm configuration file for errors.
If there are no errors, run the following command to configure StackStorm:
sudo st2ctl setup
This command will prompt you to configure some settings, such as the database credentials and API key generation.
Once we have configured StackStorm, we can start it by running the following command:
sudo st2ctl start
This command will start the StackStorm service. To check if the service is running, run:
sudo st2ctl status
This command should output "active (running)" if the StackStorm service is running.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured StackStorm on Kali Linux. You can now use StackStorm to automate your workflows and operational tasks.
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!
