How to Install DeviceHive on Kali Linux Latest

DeviceHive is a popular open-source IoT device management platform that supports various communication protocols for deploying and managing IoT applications. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to help you install DeviceHive on Kali Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

  • Kali Linux Latest with sudo access
  • Java JDK 8 or later
  • Apache Tomcat (version 7.x or higher)
  • MySQL server 5.6 or later

Step 1: Install Java

DeviceHive requires Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher to be installed on Kali Linux. To install JDK 8, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

Step 2: Install Apache Tomcat

DeviceHive requires Apache Tomcat web server to be installed on your system. To install Apache Tomcat, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install tomcat8

Once installed, start the Apache Tomcat service with the following command:

sudo systemctl start tomcat8

Step 3: Install MySQL

DeviceHive requires MySQL server to store data. To install MySQL, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for MySQL. Set a secure password and remember it for future use.

Step 4: Create DeviceHive Database

Log in to MySQL with the following command:

mysql -u root -p

Enter the root password when prompted. Once logged in, create a new database for DeviceHive with the following command:

create database devicehive;

Step 5: Download DeviceHive

Download the latest version of DeviceHive from https://www.devicehive.com/download/. Choose the "DeviceHive Server" option and click on "Download".

Once downloaded, extract the files to a directory of your choice. In this tutorial, we will use the "devicehive-3.4.0" directory.

Step 6: Configure DeviceHive

Navigate to the "devicehive-3.4.0/conf" directory and open the "devicehive.properties" file. Set the following configurations:

devicehive.cassandra.enabled=false
devicehive.database.type=mysql
devicehive.database.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/devicehive
devicehive.database.user=<MySQL_username>
devicehive.database.password=<MySQL_password>

Replace <MySQL_username> and <MySQL_password> with the MySQL username and password you set in Step 3.

Step 7: Deploy DeviceHive

Navigate to the "devicehive-3.4.0/bin" directory and run the following command to deploy DeviceHive:

sh devicehive.sh start

This will start the DeviceHive server.
