Omnibus-Ruby is a Ruby-based toolchain for creating full-stack installers for Ruby-based software. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Omnibus-Ruby on Kali Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install Git, which is needed to clone the Omnibus-Ruby repository from GitHub. Run the following command in your terminal emulator:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
Once Git is installed, you can clone the Omnibus-Ruby repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/chef/omnibus.git
This will create a new directory named "omnibus" in your current working directory.
Next, you need to install Ruby, which is required to run Omnibus-Ruby. Kali Linux comes with Ruby pre-installed, but you may need to install additional Ruby packages to ensure that Omnibus-Ruby runs smoothly. Run the following command in your terminal emulator to install Ruby:
sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev
This command installs Ruby, the build-essential package, and the zlib1g-dev package, which are required for compiling and installing Ruby gems.
To install Omnibus-Ruby, navigate to the "omnibus" directory that you cloned earlier using the following command:
cd omnibus
Once you are inside the "omnibus" directory, run the following command to install Omnibus-Ruby:
bundle install --path .bundle
This command installs all the necessary Ruby gems required by Omnibus-Ruby.
To verify that Omnibus-Ruby has been installed successfully, run the following command:
bundle exec omnibus help
This should display information about Omnibus-Ruby and its usage.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Omnibus-Ruby on Kali Linux! You can now use Omnibus-Ruby to create full-stack installers for your Ruby-based software projects.
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!
