How to Install ResourceSpace on Kali Linux Latest

ResourceSpace is an open-source digital asset management software that is used to manage and store digital assets such as images, videos, and documents. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install ResourceSpace on Kali Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation, make sure that the following prerequisites are fulfilled:

  • Access to a Kali Linux latest machine with sudo privileges.
  • LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL, and PHP) installed on your machine.

Step 1: Downloading ResourceSpace

To download ResourceSpace, follow the below steps:

  1. Open your terminal on Kali Linux.
  2. Type the following command:
$ sudo wget -c https://github.com/resourcespace/resourcespace/archive/v9.6.14057.tar.gz

This will download the latest version of ResourceSpace to your Kali Linux.

Step 2: Installing Required Packages

ResourceSpace requires some additional packages to be installed. To install them, run the following commands.

$ sudo apt-get update 
$ sudo apt-get install php-gd php-imagick php-mbstring php-curl imagemagick
$ sudo apt-get install ghostscript ufraw-batch libreoffice

Step 3: Copying ResourceSpace to Webroot

After downloading and installing all the required packages, copy the downloaded ResourceSpace files to your Apache webroot directory using the following commands:

$ sudo tar -xvf v9.6.14057.tar.gz
$ sudo mv resourcespace-9.6.14057/* /var/www/html/

This will move ResourceSpace to your webroot directory.

Step 4: Creating a New MySQL Database and User

Next, we will create a new MySQL database and user for ResourceSpace. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the MySQL command-line client with administrative privileges by typing the following command in your terminal:
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
  1. Once you are in the MySQL shell, create a new database and user with the following commands:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE resourcespace;
mysql> CREATE USER 'resourcespaceuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON resourcespace.* TO 'resourcespaceuser'@'localhost';

This will create a new database called "resourcespace" with a user called "resourcespaceuser" and a password "password".

  1. Exit the MySQL shell by typing the following command:
mysql> exit;

Step 5: Configuration

Now that we have installed and configured all the required packages, it's time to configure ResourceSpace. To do this, follow the below steps:

  1. Move to your webroot directory and edit the "config.php" file:
$ cd /var/www/html/
$ sudo nano include/config.php
  1. Change the following lines in the "config.php" file according to your MySQL database:
$mysql_host = 'localhost';
$mysql_database = 'resourcespace';
$mysql_user = 'resourcespaceuser';
$mysql_password = 'password';

Save and exit the file.

  1. Create a directory for uploaded files and set the correct permissions:
$ sudo mkdir filestore
$ sudo chown www-data:www-data filestore/
$ sudo chmod 750 filestore/

Step 6: Restart Apache

After completing the above steps, restart your Apache service:

$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 7: Accessing ResourceSpace

Open your web browser and type the following URL:

http://localhost/

This will take you to the ResourceSpace homepage, and you can now log in to your ResourceSpace instance with the username "admin" and password "admin".

Congratulations! You have successfully installed ResourceSpace on Kali Linux Latest.
