Hawkpost is a simple and secure way of sending confidential messages that self-destruct. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Hawkpost on Clear Linux Latest.
Firstly, we need to install some dependencies required by Hawkpost. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add ruby-basic
sudo dnf install gpgme-devel
Now, we can install Hawkpost using the following commands:
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm install 2.7.0
rvm use 2.7.0 --default
gem install hawkpost
The first command will install RVM (Ruby Version Manager). RVM is a command-line tool that allows you to easily install, manage, and work with multiple Ruby environments. The second command activates RVM. The third command installs Ruby version 2.7.0. Finally, the fourth command installs Hawkpost using RubyGems.
To verify that Hawkpost is installed correctly, run the following command:

This command should display the usage and help information for Hawkpost.
Now that you've installed Hawkpost, you can start using it to send confidential messages. To send a confidential message, run the following command:
hawkpost
This command will prompt you for the necessary information, such as the recipient's email address, the message you want to send, and the expiration time.
Hawkpost is a great tool for sending confidential messages that disappear after a certain period of time. By following this tutorial, you should now have Hawkpost installed on your Clear Linux Latest system and ready to use. Enjoy the secure and confidential messaging!
