Mojopaste is an open-source tool that allows you to share code snippets with other developers. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Mojopaste on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, we need to update the packages on our system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all the packages on your system.
Mojopaste is a Perl-based tool, so we need to ensure that we have Perl installed on our system. To check if Perl is installed, run the following command:
perl -v
If Perl is not installed, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S perl
We need Git to clone the Mojopaste repository. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
To install Mojopaste, we need to clone the repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/kraih/mojo-paste.git
This will clone the repository to your current directory.
Mojopaste requires some Perl dependencies. To install them, we will use the cpanm tool. To install cpanm, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S cpanminus
Once cpanm is installed, navigate to the directory where you cloned the Mojopaste repository and run the following command:
cd mojo-paste
sudo cpanm --installdeps .
This will install all the required dependencies.
To start the Mojopaste server, navigate to the cloned repository directory and run the following command:
./mojo-paste daemon
This will start the Mojopaste server on port 3000.
Now that your Mojopaste server is started, you can access the dashboard by opening your web browser and going to the following URL:
http://localhost:3000/
You should now have access to the Mojopaste dashboard and can start sharing your code snippets with other developers!
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Mojopaste on Arch Linux. We hope this tutorial was helpful and that you can now start sharing your code snippets with other developers using Mojopaste!
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!
