In this tutorial, we will be going over the step-by-step process of how to install Snipt, a command-line tool that lets you save and retrieve snippets of code, on Kali Linux.
Before we get started, you should ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Open the Terminal on your Kali Linux machine by clicking on the Terminal icon on the taskbar or by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
Snipt requires Git to be installed on your machine. If you already have Git installed, you can skip this step. To install Git, run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo apt-get install git
Once Git is installed, you can clone the Snipt repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nicksergeant/snipt.git
This will create a new directory called snipt in your current working directory.
Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the snipt directory using the cd command:
cd snipt
Then, run the following command to install Snipt:
sudo python setup.py install
This will install Snipt on your machine.
To verify that Snipt has been installed correctly, run the following command:
snipt --help
This should output the Snipt help text, indicating that Snipt has been installed successfully.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the step-by-step process of how to install Snipt on Kali Linux. Now that Snipt has been installed, you can start using it to save and retrieve snippets of code from the command line.
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!
