In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Tracim, a collaborative document management system, on Kali Linux.
Before installing Tracim, we need to install the necessary packages to ensure that all dependencies are met. Open the terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev build-essential
Next, we need to clone the Tracim repository. Open the terminal and type the following command to clone the repository into your home directory:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/tracim/tracim.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the Tracim directory and use pip3 to install the required dependencies:
cd tracim/
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Before launching Tracim, we need to set up some configuration settings. Copy the sample configuration file to the correct Tracim configuration directory:
sudo cp .tracimrc.sample /etc/tracim/tracimrc
Open the Tracim configuration file using your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/tracim/tracimrc
Update the following settings to reflect your desired values:
CYRUS_AUTH_MECHANISM = PLAIN
CYRUS_BIND_DN = ''
CYRUS_BIND_PASSWORD = ''
CYRUS_SERVER = 'localhost'
CYRUS_SSL = False
CYRUS_SSL_CA_CERT_PATH = ''
CYRUS_SSL_CERT_PATH = ''
CYRUS_SSL_KEY_PATH = ''
DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///path/to/tracim.db'
DEFAULT_MAIL = 'support@example.com'
FLASK_DEBUG = False
FLASK_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = False
FLASK_SECRET_KEY = 'generated_secret_key_here'
LOCAL_PATH_TO_TRACIM = '/path/to/tracim'
LOG_DIR_PATH = 'path/to/log/'
LOG_FILE_NAME = 'tracim.log'
LOG_LEVEL = 'WARNING'
Save and exit the configuration file.
We need to initialize the Tracim database using the following command:
sudo python3 setup.py develop
sudo python3 initdb.py
Finally, we can launch Tracim with the following command:
sudo python3 run_tracim.py
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000. You should be redirected to the Tracim login page where you can create your first user account.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tracim 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!
