Tutorial: How to install FLAP on Arch Linux

FLAP is a cloud file transfer tool that lets you transfer files between two different cloud storage services easily. Here are the steps to install FLAP on Arch Linux:

Step 1: Update your system

Before installing any new packages, make sure your system is up to date. Open a terminal and type the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

This command will update your entire system.

Step 2: Install Git

Since the FLAP is hosted on Github, to download it on your computer we need to install Git. Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo pacman -S git

This command will install Git on your system.

Step 3: Clone the FLAP repository

Next, we need to get the FLAP code from Github. To clone the repository, run the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/flap-cloud/flap.git

This command will download the FLAP repository to your current working directory.

Step 4: Install dependencies

Before we install the FLAP, we need to install its dependencies. Navigate to the FLAP directory using the following command:

cd flap

Now, run the following command to install all the dependencies required to run FLAP:

npm install

Step 5: Start the FLAP server

After installing all of the dependencies, you can start the FLAP server using the following command:

npm start

This command launches the FLAP server on port 3000.

Step 6: Access the FLAP web interface

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000. You will see the FLAP web interface.

That's it! You've successfully installed and launched the FLAP on your Arch Linux system. You can now use it to transfer files between different cloud storage services.

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!
