Hitobito is a open source CRM software that helps you manage your member database and communication with them. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Hitobito on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we start, let's make sure that your Kali Linux system has the following prerequisites:
If any of these components are not installed, please follow the relevant tutorials to install them.
First, let us download Hitobito from the official website (hitobito.com/en">https://hitobito.com/en).
wget https://github.com/hitobito/hitobito/archive/master.zip
After downloading, unzip the file using:
unzip master.zip
Now, we need to configure Apache to recognize the Hitobito files. To do this, create a virtual host configuration file in the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory.
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
nano hitobito.conf
In the configuration file, add the following code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/hitobito/public
<Directory /var/www/hitobito/public>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the file.
Next, enable the new virtual host configuration by creating a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory.
cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
ln -s ../sites-available/hitobito.conf
Finally, restart Apache to apply the changes.
service apache2 restart
Hitobito needs permission to read and write certain files and directories. So let us change the ownership and permission of the directories.
cd /var/www
chown -R www-data:www-data hitobito
chmod -R 755 hitobito/storage
chmod -R 755 hitobito/bootstrap/cache
Composer is a PHP dependency manager that Hitobito uses. To install Composer, run:
cd ~
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Finally, verify that Composer is installed by running:
composer
Let's install the dependencies required for Hitobito. Navigate to the hitobito directory and run:
cd /var/www/hitobito
composer install --prefer-dist --no-dev
This may take a while to complete.
Create a copy of the .env.example file and name it .env.
cd /var/www/hitobito
cp .env.example .env
Then, edit the .env file to include the database details for MySQL or MariaDB.
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=hitobito
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
Save and exit the file.
Generate the application key using artisan.
cd /var/www/hitobito
php artisan key:generate
To create and migrate the Hitobito tables to the database, run:
cd /var/www/hitobito
php artisan migrate
Congratulations! Hitobito is now installed and ready to use. Access it by opening a browser and navigating to http://localhost:80.
