How to Install Exatorrent on Kali Linux Latest

Exatorrent is an open-source, lightweight, and fast BitTorrent download client designed for server-side. It allows users to download files from multiple torrent trackers simultaneously, and it has a web interface that makes it very easy to use. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Exatorrent on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin the installation, there are a few prerequisites that need to be met. Make sure you have the following:

• A server running Kali Linux Latest
• Root access to the server
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Update System

The first step is to update the system by running the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install NodeJS and NPM

Exatorrent is built using NodeJS, so we need to install NodeJS and NPM. To do that, run the following commands:

sudo apt install nodejs npm -y

Step 3: Install Yarn

We also need to install Yarn, a package manager for NodeJS. To do that, run the following command:

npm install -g yarn

Step 4: Install Exatorrent

Now we are ready to install Exatorrent. To do that, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/varbhat/exatorrent.git
cd exatorrent
yarn install

Step 5: Configure Exatorrent

The next step is to configure Exatorrent. By default, Exatorrent listens on port 3000. If you want to change the port, edit the config.json file.

nano config.json

Step 6: Start Exatorrent

To start Exatorrent, run the following command:

yarn start

You should see Exatorrent start and show a message like "Server running at http://localhost:3000".

Step 7: Access Exatorrent Web Interface

Finally, open your web browser and go to the following URL to access the Exatorrent web interface:

http://your-server-ip:3000

Replace your-server-ip with the IP address of your Kali Linux server. You should be prompted to create a new user account the first time you access Exatorrent. Fill in the required details and start using Exatorrent.
