Hasty Paste is a clipboard manager for macOS, Linux, and Windows. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps of installing Hasty Paste on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Hasty Paste requires a few dependencies to function properly. These dependencies are available in the official Arch Linux repositories. We will use the pacman package manager to install them.
To update the package database and install the necessary dependencies, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git npm nodejs
Next, we need to clone the Hasty Paste repository from GitHub to our local system. This can be easily accomplished using the git command.
Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/EnchantedCode/HastyPaste.git
In this step, we will use npm to install the required dependencies for Hasty Paste and build the application.
Navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository and run the following commands:
cd HastyPaste
npm install
npm run build
This will install all required dependencies and build the application.
After the installation is complete, we can run Hasty Paste using the following commands:
npm start
This will launch the Hasty Paste application.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Hasty Paste on Arch Linux. Now that you have Hasty Paste installed, you can start using it to manage your clipboard history.
