Prerequisites

Before we start installing ClearFlask, there are a few necessary prerequisites that need to be installed:

• Git

You can install these packages on Kali Linux using the following commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install virtualenv
sudo apt-get install git

Step 1: Clone ClearFlask Repository

The first step is to clone the ClearFlask repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/andresvz/clearflask.git

Step 2: Create Virtual Environment

Now we need to create a virtual environment in the same directory where ClearFlask repository is cloned. Run the following command:

virtualenv -p python3 venv

This will create a new virtual environment named "venv".

Step 3: Activate Virtual Environment

Activate the virtual environment using the following command:

source venv/bin/activate

Step 4: Install ClearFlask

Now we need to install ClearFlask in our virtual environment. Run the following commands:

cd clearflask
pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: If you face any error in installing the requirements, try running the "pip" command with sudo.

Step 5: Create Database

Create a new MySQL database using the following command:

mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE clearflask;
mysql> exit

Step 6: Set Up Configuration

Copy the configuration file and modify it by specifying your MySQL connection settings:

cp config-sample.py config.py
nano config.py

Change the following lines in the configuration file:

SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'mysql+pymysql://user:password@localhost/clearflask'

Replace "user" and "password" with your MySQL user and password respectively.

Step 7: Run the Server

Finally, you can run the ClearFlask server using the following command:

python manage.py runserver

You should see the following output:

* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

Your ClearFlask installation is now complete! You can access it on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in your web browser.
