Wagtail is a popular content management system built on top of Django. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Wagtail on Kali Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to create a virtual environment for Wagtail. This will help keep your project dependencies separate from your system dependencies.
$ virtualenv -p python3 myenv
$ source myenv/bin/activate
Once you have created a virtual environment, you can proceed with installing Wagtail. To install Wagtail, run the following command:
$ pip3 install wagtail
This will install Wagtail and all its dependencies.
Now that you have Wagtail installed, you can create a project using the Wagtail start command. This command creates a new project with a basic file structure and necessary files.
$ wagtail start myproject
$ cd myproject
To access the Wagtail admin interface, you need to create a superuser. You can create a superuser by running the following command:
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
Follow the on-screen instructions to set a username and password.
Finally, you can run the development server using the following command:
$ python manage.py runserver
This will start the development server and you can access the admin interface by navigating to http://localhost:8000/admin/ in your browser.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the process of installing Wagtail on Kali Linux using Virtualenv. You can now create and manage content using Wagtail's intuitive admin interface.
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!
