Before proceeding with the installation, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Rustypaste is written in the Rust programming language, so you must have Rust installed on your system. To install Rust, run the following command:

Navigate to the Rustypaste directory using the following command:
cd rustypaste
Then, build Rustypaste using cargo by running the following command:

The build process may take some time to complete, depending on your system's speed.
After the build process is complete, you can install Rustypaste by running the following command:
sudo install -s target/release/rustypaste /usr/local/bin/rustypaste
This will install Rustypaste to /usr/local/bin/rustypaste so that you can run the command from anywhere in the system.
