MiniNote is a lightweight note-taking app for Linux, and it's free and open-source. It's available on GitHub, and here's how you can install it on Arch Linux.
Before you start installing MiniNote, ensure that your Arch Linux is up-to-date by executing
sudo pacman -Syu
Also, you'll need Git to download the installation files from GitHub. If you don't already have Git installed, run
sudo pacman -S git
MiniNote requires a few dependencies to be installed. Execute the following command to install them.
sudo pacman -S cmake gcc qt5-base qt5-tools make
Now, download the MiniNote source code via Git by running this command.
git clone https://github.com/muety/mininote.git
This will make a local copy of the code repository in which the MiniNote program is stored. Next, navigate into the mininote folder by executing
cd mininote
Now, you can start building MiniNote by running
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Once the program has been built, you can install it to your Arch Linux system by
sudo cp mininote /usr/local/bin
You can use MiniNote by opening a terminal and running
mininote
The program will launch, and you'll be ready to start taking notes.
That's how you install MiniNote on Arch Linux!
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!
