How to install Tolgee on Kali Linux

Tolgee is an open-source translation management platform that helps developers manage and automate the translation process. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Tolgee on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, ensure that you have the following:

• Root access to the Kali Linux system
• Python 3.5 or higher
• pip package manager

Step 1: Install PostgreSQL

Tolgee requires PostgreSQL as its database system. If you don't have PostgreSQL installed on your system, you can install it by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

After installation, start the PostgreSQL service and enable it to start with the system boot with the following commands:

sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql

Step 2: Create a PostgreSQL user and database

After installing PostgreSQL, create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Tolgee. Run the following commands to create a new PostgreSQL user:

sudo su postgres
createuser tolgee_user --interactive

You will be prompted to set the password for the tolgee_user. Choose a strong password and remember it.

Now, create a new PostgreSQL database for Tolgee with the following command:

createdb tolgee_db -O tolgee_user

Step 3: Install Tolgee

To install Tolgee, follow the given steps:

1. Open the terminal and run the following command to install Tolgee:

   pip install tolgee-server
   

2. Create a configuration file with the following command:

   touch tolgee.yaml
   

3. Open the tolgee.yaml file and add the following contents to it:

   db:
       dialect: postgresql
       host: localhost
       port: 5432
       database: tolgee_db
       user: tolgee_user
       password: <password>
   
   server:
       secret_key: <secret_key>
       debug: False
   
   project:
       name: <project_name>
   

   Replace <password> with the password you set for tolgee_user.

   Replace <secret_key> with a secure secret key that is used to hash secure tokens for Tolgee users.

   Replace <project_name> with the name of your project.

4. Save the tolgee.yaml file.

Step 4: Run Tolgee

To start Tolgee, run the following command in the terminal:

tolgee start

This command will start Tolgee on port 8080. You can access Tolgee by going to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Tolgee on Kali Linux. By following these steps, you can set up Tolgee for your translation management process.
