Sigal is a simple static gallery generator written in Python, which allows you to create and maintain a photo gallery website. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Sigal on Kali Linux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have:
Open the terminal on your Kali Linux and update the package list using the following command:
sudo apt update
Install Python 3 and pip by running the following command:
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
Install the dependencies required by Sigal using the following command:
sudo apt install libjpeg-dev liblcms2-dev libopenjp2-7-dev libtiff-dev libwebp-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev zlib1g-dev
Install Sigal using pip by running the following command:
sudo pip3 install sigal
Once the installation is complete, you can check the version of Sigal by running the following command:
sigal --version
This should display the version of Sigal installed on your system.
Create a directory to store your gallery files. For example, let's create a directory named mygallery:
mkdir mygallery
Change your current directory to the newly created directory:
cd mygallery
Initialize the gallery using the following command:
sigal init
This will create a sigal.conf.py file in the directory. Open this file using a text editor and make the desired changes to configure your gallery.
Once you have configured your gallery, add your photos to the photos directory inside your mygallery directory.
To generate your gallery, run the following command:
sigal build
This will create a _build directory inside your mygallery directory containing the files for your static website.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Sigal on Kali Linux Latest and create a static photo gallery. With Sigal, you can easily create and maintain your own photo gallery website.
