In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install S-Cart on Kali Linux Latest.

Since S-Cart is written in PHP, you will need to have a LAMP stack installed on your Kali Linux system. If you don't already have it installed, follow these steps to install it:

  1. Open a terminal window and type the following command to install Apache2:
sudo apt-get install apache2
  1. Install MySQL:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
  1. Install PHP and related modules:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
  1. Restart Apache2 web server:

Step 2: Download S-Cart

Go to S-Cart's official website (s-cart.org/">https://s-cart.org/) and download the latest version of S-Cart.

  1. Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you want to download S-Cart.
cd /path/to/download/dir

wget https://github.com/s-cart/s-cart/releases/latest/download/s-cart.zip
  1. Unzip the downloaded file using unzip command:
unzip s-cart.zip
  1. Move the unzipped contents to your Apache2 web server's root directory:
sudo mv s-cart/* /var/www/html/

Step 3: Create a MySQL database

S-Cart requires a MySQL database to function properly. Follow these steps to create a new database:

  1. Log in to MySQL using the following command:
mysql -u root -p
  1. Enter your MySQL user password when prompted.

  2. Create a new database named 's_cart' using the following command:

CREATE DATABASE s_cart;
  1. Create a new MySQL user and grant all privileges to the 's_cart' database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON s_cart.* TO 'newuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Note: Replace 'newuser' and 'password' with your desired user and password.

  1. Exit MySQL using the following command:
exit;

Step 4: Configure S-Cart

S-Cart needs to be configured before it can be used.

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name, followed by '/install' (eg. http://yourdomain.com/install).

  2. Follow the installation wizard to configure S-Cart.

  3. When prompted for database details, enter the database name, username, password, and host ('localhost').

  4. Complete the wizard by following the on-screen instructions.

Step 5: Remove installation directory

After completing the installation wizard, you should remove the installation directory for security reasons.

  1. Open a terminal window and navigate to the Apache2 web server's root directory:
cd /var/www/html/

sudo rm -rf install
