Uguu is a simple and lightweight file-sharing service that enables users to share files easily and quickly. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Uguu on your Kali Linux Latest operating system.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
To ensure that your operating system is up to date, use the following command to update it:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
The next step is to install Git, which is a powerful version control system. You can install it by running the following command:
sudo apt install git -y
Now we will clone the Uguu repository using Git. Move to your desired directory using the cd command and then use the following command to clone Uguu:
git clone https://github.com/nokonoko/uguu.git
Uguu requires some dependencies to work properly. Install these dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt install libmime-perl libarchive-zip-perl libjson-perl
Move to the Uguu directory by using the following command:
cd uguu
Now we will configure Uguu by making a copy of the config.pl.example file and renaming it:
cp config.pl.example config.pl
Open the config.pl file using a text editor of your choice, such as Nano or Vim:
nano config.pl
Edit the following entries in the file:
# Full path to the temporary directory which will be used to store files for processing. (default: /tmp)
$TEMP_DIR = '/temp';
# Full path to the directory where files will be uploaded to. (default: ./files)
$FILES_DIR = '/files';
# Where to redirect browsers which open the index page. (default: http://<your_internal_ip_addr>/)
$REDIRECT_URL = 'https://uguu.se/';
Save the changes and exit the text editor.
Now we will start the Uguu server by using the following command:
./start.pl
If everything is properly configured, you should see the following output in your terminal:
Starting uguu.pl daemon, see uguu.log for details.
Open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080
You should see the Uguu file-sharing web application. You can now use Uguu to share files easily and quickly!
