Hindsight is a web-based auditing tool that allows you to analyze and inspect web history data. It is developed by Mozilla Services, and it is compatible with a variety of operating systems, including POP! OS. This tutorial will guide you through the steps you need to follow to successfully install Hindsight on POP! OS Latest.
Before installing Hindsight, you need to ensure that your system meets the following prerequisites:
Hindsight relies on several dependencies to function correctly. To install these dependencies, open the terminal on your POP! OS system, and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip libssl-dev libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev
This command will install all the necessary dependencies for Hindsight to run correctly.
To install Hindsight, you first need to clone the Hindsight Github repository. To do this, enter the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/hindsight.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the Hindsight directory by entering the command:
cd hindsight
Next, you need to install Hindsight's Python dependencies. To do this, enter the following command:
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Finally, you need to build the Hindsight SQLite database. To do this, enter the following command:
python3 scripts/build_db.py
Once the installation is complete, you can verify that Hindsight is working correctly by running the following command:
python3 manager.py shell
This will open the Python shell. In the shell, enter the following command to import Hindsight:
from hindsight import create_app
If there are no errors, Hindsight is installed correctly on your POP! OS system.
By following these steps, you have successfully installed Hindsight on your POP! OS Latest system. Hindsight should now be ready to use. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the official Hindsight documentation for further assistance.
