EdPaste is an open-source pastebin tool that serves as a simple command-line utility. This tool is used to share and store text online. In this tutorial, we will install EdPaste on Arch Linux.
Before installing EdPaste, we need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S go git
This command installs the 'go' and 'git' packages which are needed to fetch and build the EdPaste package.
We will use 'git' to clone the EdPaste repository from GitHub. Execute the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/ptnr/EdPaste.git
This command will create a directory named 'EdPaste' in your current working directory, which contains the EdPaste source code.
Now that we have cloned the repository, we need to build and install EdPaste. Change your working directory to the 'edpaste' directory and execute the following commands:
cd EdPaste
make
sudo make install
This command will build and install EdPaste on your Arch Linux system.
After successfully installing EdPaste, we will now verify if it's installed correctly or not. Open a new terminal window and execute the following command:
edpaste --help
This command should display the available options for the EdPaste command-line tool.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed EdPaste on Arch Linux.
