If any of these prerequisites are missing, please install them before continuing with the tutorial.
The first step of the installation process is to install the Kallithea package. To do this, follow the steps below:
Open the Terminal app on your macOS system.
Type the following command to install Kallithea using pip:
pip install kallithea
Wait for the installation process to complete.
After successfully installing Kallithea, you need to configure it. Here are the steps to do so:
Type the following command in the Terminal app to create a Kallithea configuration file:
kallithea-cli config-create kallithea.ini
You can modify the configuration file as per your requirements. For example, you can change the default port, enable SSL, etc.
Once you have completed the configuration, you need to start the Kallithea server. Here are the steps to do so:
Type the following command in the Terminal app to start the Kallithea server:
kallithea-cli start -b [IP address] -p [port] kallithea.ini
Replace [IP address] and [port] with your desired values.
Open your web browser and enter the IP address and port number that you specified earlier in the command.
For example, if the IP address is 0.0.0.0 and the port number is 5000, you can access Kallithea at http://0.0.0.0:5000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Kallithea on your macOS system.
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!
