In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-swift on Kali Linux. python3-swift is distributed virtual object store - Python 3 libraries

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-swift on Kali Linux.

What is python3-swift

python3-swift is:

OpenStack Object Storage (code-named Swift) creates redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of standardized servers to store petabytes of accessible data. It is not a file system or real-time data storage system, but rather a long-term storage system for a more permanent type of static data that can be retrieved, leveraged, and then updated if necessary. Primary examples of data that best fit this type of storage model are virtual machine images, photo storage, email storage and backup archiving. Having no central “brain” or master point of control provides greater scalability, redundancy and permanence.

Objects are written to multiple hardware devices in the data center, with the OpenStack software responsible for ensuring data replication and integrity across the cluster. Storage clusters can scale horizontally by adding new nodes. Should a node fail, OpenStack works to replicate its content from other active nodes. Because OpenStack uses software logic to ensure data replication and distribution across different devices, inexpensive commodity hard drives and servers can be used in lieu of more expensive equipment.

This package provides the Python 3 libraries that actually implement everything.

There are three methods to install python3-swift on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install python3-swift Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install python3-swift using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install python3-swift

Install python3-swift Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install python3-swift using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install python3-swift

Install python3-swift Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install python3-swift using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install python3-swift

How To Uninstall python3-swift on Kali Linux
