How to Install ASS on Linux Mint Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ASS on Linux Mint Latest. ASS stands for "Another Sudo Simulator", which is a tool that simulates the behavior of the sudo command in a controlled environment.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Linux Mint Latest machine
• Root access or sudo privileges
• Internet connection

Step 1: Install Git

The first step is to install Git, which is a version control system that is required to clone the ASS repository. Run the following command to install Git:

sudo apt install git

Step 2: Clone the ASS Repository

Next, you need to clone the ASS repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/tycrek/ass.git

This command will clone the repository and create a new directory named "ass" in your current working directory.

Step 3: Install ASS Dependencies

Before you can use ASS, you need to install its dependencies. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev libssl-dev libpq5 libpq-dev libsqlite3-dev libmysqlclient-dev libmysql++-dev libsqlite3-dev libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev libpqxx-dev libboost-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev zlib1g-dev autoconf automake pkg-config libtool cmake

Step 4: Build and Install ASS

Now that you have cloned the repository and installed its dependencies, you can build and install ASS. Navigate to the "ass" directory that you cloned in Step 2 and run the following commands:

cd ass
cmake .
make
sudo make install

These commands will build and install ASS on your Linux Mint Latest machine.

Step 5: Test ASS

To test if ASS has been successfully installed, run the following command:
