How to Install Blocky on Kali Linux

Blocky is an open-source, web-based blockchain programming platform that allows developers to create blockchain-based projects in a visual programming environment. In this tutorial, we will go over how to install Blocky on Kali Linux.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before we start installing Blocky, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git curl libssl-dev libudev-dev build-essential

These commands will update the package list and install the required dependencies.

Step 2: Clone the Blocky Repository

The next step is to clone the Blocky repository from GitHub. Run the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky.git

This will download the repository and create a new directory named "blocky" in your current directory.

Step 3: Install Node.js and npm

Blocky requires Node.js and npm to run. To install them, run the following commands in the terminal:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

This will add the Node.js repository and install the latest version of Node.js.

Step 4: Install Blocky Dependencies

Navigate to the blocky directory by running the following command:

cd blocky

Then, install the required dependencies using npm by running the following command:

npm install

This may take a while as it downloads and installs all the required dependencies for Blocky.

Step 5: Start Blocky

Once all the dependencies are installed, we can start Blocky by running the following command in the terminal:

npm start

This will start the Blocky server on http://localhost:3000.

You can now access Blocky by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Blocky on Kali Linux! You can now use Blocky to create blockchain-based projects in a visual programming environment.
