Minimalist-Web-Notepad is a simple web-based notepad application designed for quick note-taking. It is built using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS and runs on most modern browsers. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Minimalist-Web-Notepad on Kali Linux latest.
Before proceeding with the installation of Minimalist-Web-Notepad, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Minimalist-Web-Notepad is a web-based application that requires a web server to run. Therefore, the first step is to install and configure the Apache web server on your Kali Linux system. You can do so by executing the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
After the installation is complete, start the Apache web server and enable it to run at startup by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start apache2
The next step is to download the Minimalist-Web-Notepad application from the official GitHub repository. You can do so by executing the following command in the terminal:
cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://github.com/pereorga/minimalist-web-notepad.git
This command will download the entire Minimalist-Web-Notepad repository to your /var/www/html directory.
After downloading the Minimalist-Web-Notepad repository, you need to configure the Apache web server to serve the application. To do so, create a new virtual host configuration file by executing the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/minimalist-web-notepad.conf
Paste the following configuration code into the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/minimalist-web-notepad
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/minimalist-web-notepad-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/minimalist-web-notepad-access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/minimalist-web-notepad>
Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.html [QSA,L]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL + X, Y, and ENTER.
After creating the virtual host configuration file, enable it by executing the following command:
sudo a2ensite minimalist-web-notepad.conf
Then, reload the Apache web server to apply the configuration changes:
sudo systemctl reload apache2
Finally, open your favorite web browser, and navigate to http://localhost/. You should see the Minimalist-Web-Notepad application running on your Kali Linux system.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Minimalist-Web-Notepad on Kali Linux latest. By following the steps mentioned above, you should now have a working instance of the application on your Kali Linux system.
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!
