Status is a simple tool that allows you to check the HTTP status code of a website or web page. In this tutorial, we'll be installing Status on Arch Linux using GitHub repository.
Before installing Status, you need to have the following:
You'll also need to have a minimum understanding of the Linux command-line interface (CLI).
Step 1: Install Git and Go
The first step is to install Git and Go on your system. Open your terminal and run the following command to install Git:
sudo pacman -S git
To install Go, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S go
Step 2: Clone the Status Repository
Once you have installed Git and Go, the next step is to clone the Status repository. Run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/dani3l0/Status.git
Step 3: Build the Binary
After cloning the repository, navigate to the Status directory using the terminal:
cd Status
Next, build the binary by running the following command:
go build
This command will create an executable binary of Status.
Step 4: Install Dependencies
To run Status, you need to install some dependencies. Run the following command:
sudo pacman -S curl
Step 5: Test Status
To test Status, run the following command:
./Status -u <URL>
Replace the <URL> with the website or web page you want to test.
If everything is working correctly, Status will return the HTTP status code of the webpage.
Step 6: Make Status Executable Globally
If you want to use Status without specifying the directory, you can make it executable globally. To do this, move the binary to the /usr/local/bin/ directory:
sudo mv Status /usr/local/bin/
Now, you can use Status from anywhere on your system.
In this tutorial, we have installed and configured Status on Arch Linux. With Status, you can easily check the HTTP status code of a website or web page.
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!
