How to Install Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) on Kali Linux Latest
In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) on your Kali Linux Latest system. OSRM is an open-source routing engine used to calculate the shortest path between two points.
Prerequisites
Before we start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Kali Linux Latest installed on your system
- An active internet connection
Installation Process
Follow the below mentioned steps to install OSRM on your Kali Linux.
Step 1: Update Your System
First, open the terminal on your Kali Linux system and run the following command to update your system.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Step 2: Install the Required Packages
Next, install the required packages for OSRM by running the following command on your terminal.
sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake pkg-config \
libbz2-dev libxml2-dev libzip-dev libboost-all-dev \
lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libtbb-dev
Step 3: Clone the OSRM Repository
Now, clone the OSRM repository using the following command.
git clone https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend.git
Step 4: Build and Install OSRM
After cloning the repository, change your directory to osrm-backend and build the project using the following command.
cd osrm-backend
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install
Step 5: Download OSRM Data
Next, you need to download the OSRM data to your system. You can download the data for your specific region from the following link.
wget http://download.geofabrik.de/your_specific_region-latest.osm.pbf
Replace "your_specific_region" in the above command with the name of your region. For example, if you want to download the data for Europe, the command should be:
wget http://download.geofabrik.de/europe-latest.osm.pbf
Step 6: Generate OSRM Files
After downloading the data, you need to generate the OSRM files for your region. Use the following command to generate the files.
osrm-extract your_specific_region-latest.osm.pbf -p /usr/local/share/osrm/profiles/car.lua
osrm-prepare your_specific_region-latest.osrm
Replace "your_specific_region" with the name of your region.
Step 7: Start the OSRM Server
Finally, start the OSRM server using the following command.
osrm-routed your_specific_region-latest.osrm
Replace "your_specific_region" with the name of your region.
Conclusion
That's it! You have successfully installed Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) on your Kali Linux Latest system. You can now use it to calculate the shortest path between two points in your region.
