StorX Integration Series: StorX + Kopia
Installation
This section explains how to install Kopia. For more installation instructions, see the Kopia documentation here.
Installation in Kali Linux(Ubuntu)
Kopia offers an APT repository compatible with Debian, Ubuntu, and similar distributions. To begin, install the GPG signing key to verify the authenticity of the releases.
curl -s https://kopia.io/signing-key | sudo gpg — dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/kopia-keyring.gpg
Register APT source:
echo “deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/kopia-keyring.gpg] http://packages.kopia.io/apt/ stable main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kopia.list
sudo apt update
By default, the stable channel provides official stable releases. If you prefer, you can select the testing channel (which also provides release candidates and is generally stable) or unstable, which includes all the latest changes but may not be stable.
Finally, install Kopia or KopiaUI:
sudo apt install kopia
sudo apt install kopia-ui
Kopia is installed!
*Now open the Kopia in your Desktop.
