# Open localhost
rpia --chrome

# Open specific URL
rpia --chrome=https://youtube.com

  --msf

Install Metasploit Framework

Please read documentation: Metasploit

rpia --msf

  --smb

Custom

You can create your own modules using bash script.
The modules folder contains an example script that you can use as reference.

cat ~/rpia/modules/hello/install

The first 3 arguments will be received in every script.

• $root Path to home folder
• $rpias Path to rpia folder
• $value Passed in command --key=value

#!/bin/bash
root=$1
rpias=$2
value=$3
dir=$(dirname $0)

echo This is a test script
echo $root $rpias $value $dir

Lets make a script to install nmap

First steps

# Go to 'modules' folder
cd ~/rpia/modules

# Copy example script to 'nmap' folder 
cp hello nmap

# Open the script with text editor
nano nmap/install

The script content

#!/bin/bash
root=$1
rpias=$2
value=$3
dir=$(dirname $0)

# install nmap
sudo apt install -y nmap

# print some message
echo "Successfully installed 'Nmap'"

Calling your script

rpia --nmap
