In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing and setting up Typesense on Kali Linux.
Run the following command in your terminal to update your system packages:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Typesense requires some dependencies to be installed first. Run the following command in your terminal to install them:
sudo apt install -y build-essential libssl-dev m4 ruby-full ruby-dev zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
Visit the Typesense website and locate the download button, or copy this link: https://dl.typesense.org/releases/0.21.0/typesense-server-0.21.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz.
Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where you saved the file using the terminal, and use the following commands to extract the Typesense files:
tar -xvf typesense-server-0.21.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd typesense-server-0.21.0-linux-amd64
Use the following command to start Typesense:
./typesense-server
By default, it will run on port 8108 and can be accessed via http://localhost:8108.
To verify the installation, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8108/health. You should see a page showing that Typesense is up and running.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Typesense on your Kali Linux machine.
Disclaimer: It is important to note that Kali Linux is a pentesting distribution and is not intended for everyday use. The installation steps listed here are for educational and testing purposes only.
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!
