WooCommerce is a popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress websites. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing WooCommerce on Kali Linux operating system, which is a popular Linux distribution often used for security testing and ethical hacking.
Before installing WooCommerce, you need to ensure that your Kali Linux system has a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack installed. You can install LAMP stack using the following command:
sudo apt-get install tasksel
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
Next, you need to install WordPress on your Kali Linux system. You can do this by downloading the latest version of WordPress from their official website and then extracting the downloaded file to the /var/www/html/ directory.
cd /tmp
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.zip
sudo apt-get install unzip
sudo unzip latest.zip -d /var/www/html/
Now that you have WordPress installed on your Kali Linux system, you can proceed with the installation of WooCommerce. You can download the latest version of WooCommerce from their official website and then extract the downloaded file to the /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins directory.
cd /tmp
wget https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/woocommerce.5.4.1.zip
sudo unzip woocommerce.5.4.1.zip -d /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/
After installing WooCommerce, you need to activate the plugin in your WordPress dashboard. From your WordPress dashboard, go to "Plugins" on the left-hand menu, find "WooCommerce" in the list of installed plugins and click the "Activate" button.
Once activated, you need to configure WooCommerce to suit your e-commerce needs. From your WordPress dashboard, go to "WooCommerce" on the left-hand menu and then follow the setup wizard to configure the necessary settings, such as currency, shipping options, and payment gateways.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed WooCommerce on Kali Linux system. You can now start building and customizing your e-commerce website.
