How to Install EGroupware on Kali Linux Latest

In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of installing EGroupware on Kali Linux Latest. EGroupware is an open-source groupware software for business use that allows you to manage your company's data, projects, and resources.

Step 1: Update Kali Linux

It's always recommended to update your system before installing any new software. First, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install Required Packages

EGroupware requires some packages to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install them:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php7.3 php7.3-curl php7.3-gd php7.3-mysql php7.3-cli php7.3-common libphp-adodb libjs-jquery libicu-dev libmcrypt-dev git

Step 3: Download EGroupware

You can download the EGroupware package from the official website or use Git to clone the project repository. In this tutorial, we will use Git.

First, move to the Apache2 document root directory:

cd /var/www/html/

Then clone the EGroupware repository using Git:

sudo git clone https://github.com/EGroupware/egroupware.git

Step 4: Set up Permissions and Ownership

Now, we need to set the correct permissions and ownership for the EGroupware files. Run the following commands:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data egroupware
sudo chmod -R 755 egroupware

Step 5: Configuring Apache2

Next, we need to configure Apache2 to serve the EGroupware application. First, create an Apache2 virtual host configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/egroupware.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName egroupware.yourdomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/egroupware
    <Directory /var/www/html/egroupware>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/egroupware_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/egroupware_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace egroupware.yourdomain.com with your own domain name. Save and exit the file.

Enable the virtual host and restart Apache2:

sudo a2ensite egroupware.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 6: Finishing the Installation

Finally, open your web browser and navigate to http://egroupware.yourdomain.com/setup. You will see the EGroupware installation wizard.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Make sure to enter your desired database name, username, and password when prompted.

Once the installation is complete, you can access the EGroupware application by navigating to http://egroupware.yourdomain.com/.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed EGroupware on Kali Linux Latest.
