This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Tyk, an open source API gateway, on Kali Linux Latest.
Before installing Tyk, make sure that your Kali Linux system meets the following prerequisites:
To install Tyk on Kali Linux Latest, Git needs to be installed on your system. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
Once you have Git installed, clone the Tyk repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/TykTechnologies/tyk.git
This will create a new directory called tyk in the current directory containing the Tyk source code.
Before installing Tyk, we need to install dependencies. To install dependencies, navigate to the tyk directory and run the following command:
sudo ./install.sh --install-redis --install-gateway --install-pump --install-dashboard --install-sensors --install-redis-graph --install-redis-bloom
This will install all the required dependencies.
After installing the dependencies, we can start the Tyk services. Navigate to the tyk directory and run the following commands:
sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server start
sudo /etc/init.d/tyk-gateway start
sudo /etc/init.d/tyk-pump start
sudo /etc/init.d/tyk-dashboard start
sudo /etc/init.d/tyk-sensors start
This will start all the Tyk services.
To verify that Tyk is running and responding to requests, navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. You should see the Tyk dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tyk 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!
