Pasty is a Python web application for sharing code snippets with syntax highlighting. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install Pasty on Kali Linux Latest.
Before you begin, you should have:
First, let's install the dependencies required by Pasty.
Open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-venv git
This will update your system and install the required packages.
Next, we need to clone the Pasty repository from GitHub.
In your terminal, enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/lus/pasty.git
This command will clone the Pasty repository to your current directory.
Pasty requires a Python virtual environment to run.
Navigate to the cloned Pasty directory:
cd pasty
Create a Python virtual environment:
python3 -m venv env
Activate the virtual environment:
source env/bin/activate
Now we need to install the Pasty dependencies.
In your terminal, enter the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all the dependencies required by Pasty.
Pasty needs to be configured before it can be used.
Copy the example configuration file:
cp config.example.py config.py
Edit the config.py file and enter your desired configuration options.
For example, you can change the SECRET_KEY to a new random string:
SECRET_KEY = 'my-secret-key'
Save and close the file.
To start Pasty, enter the following command in your terminal:
python3 pasty.py
This will start the Pasty server.
You can now access Pasty by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000/.
To stop Pasty, press CTRL+C in your terminal.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Pasty on Kali Linux Latest. Pasty is now running and you can use it to share your code snippets with syntax highlighting.
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!
