How to install OSEM on Kali Linux

OSEM is an Open Source Event Management software designed for event organizers. It is easy to use and customizable to fit different event needs. This tutorial will guide you through how to install OSEM on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed, you need to have the following:

• Kali Linux installed on your machine
• A stable internet connection
• Root access to your machine

Step 1: Install the required dependencies

To run OSEM, we need to install some required dependencies that include Git, Ruby, Rails, SQLite3, and NodeJS. So, open the terminal and execute the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev libsqlite3-dev nodejs libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libffi-dev libpq-dev

This command will update all the installed packages on your system and install all the dependencies required to run OSEM.

Step 2: Clone the OSEM repository

After installing the required dependencies, we need to clone the OSEM repository using Git.

git clone https://github.com/openSUSE/osem.git

Step 3: Set up OSEM

Now, let's go to the OSEM directory and install all the required gems.

cd osem
bundle install

This command will install all the required gems for OSEM.

Step 4: Create the database

To create the OSEM database, run the following command:

rake db:create

Step 5: Migrate the database

After creating the database, we need to migrate it:

rake db:migrate

Step 6: Start the server

Now, start the server to run OSEM:

rails server

Now visit http://localhost:3000 in your web browser to check if OSEM is running successfully.

Conclusion

OSEM is now successfully installed on your machine, and you can start using it for your event management needs.

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!
