ExBin is a binary converter and encoder/decoder library written in Java. It is designed to handle complex binary structures and provides various tools to work with binary data. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ExBin on Alpine Linux.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have a running instance of Alpine Linux with root access.
First, let's update the system by running the following command:
apk update && apk upgrade
ExBin requires the Java Development Kit (JDK) to be installed on the system. To install the JDK, run the following command:
apk add openjdk11
You can download ExBin from the project's GitHub repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/m1dnight/exbin.git
This will create a new directory called exbin in your current working directory.
To build ExBin, navigate to the exbin directory and run the following command:
./gradlew build
This will build the ExBin library and create a JAR file named exbin-<version>.jar under the build/libs directory.
To test ExBin, you can use the sample code provided in the exbin-test directory. Navigate to the exbin-test directory and run the following command:
./gradlew test
This will run the sample tests and verify that ExBin is working correctly.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ExBin on Alpine Linux. Now you can use the ExBin library to handle complex binary structures and perform various operations on binary data.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
