Blocky is an open-source, web-based blockchain programming platform that allows developers to create blockchain-based projects in a visual programming environment. In this tutorial, we will go over how to install Blocky on Kali Linux.
Before we start installing Blocky, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git curl libssl-dev libudev-dev build-essential
These commands will update the package list and install the required dependencies.
The next step is to clone the Blocky repository from GitHub. Run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky.git
This will download the repository and create a new directory named "blocky" in your current directory.
Blocky requires Node.js and npm to run. To install them, run the following commands in the terminal:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
This will add the Node.js repository and install the latest version of Node.js.
Navigate to the blocky directory by running the following command:
cd blocky
Then, install the required dependencies using npm by running the following command:
npm install
This may take a while as it downloads and installs all the required dependencies for Blocky.
Once all the dependencies are installed, we can start Blocky by running the following command in the terminal:
npm start
This will start the Blocky server on http://localhost:3000.
You can now access Blocky by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Blocky on Kali Linux! You can now use Blocky to create blockchain-based projects in a visual programming environment.
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!
