Para is an open-source platform that enables developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) that are fast, secure, and scalable. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Para on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you proceed, make sure that you have the following:
First, open a terminal on your Clear Linux system.
Run the following command to update the package manager:
sudo swupd update
Then, install Git which is required to fetch the Para source code:
sudo swupd bundle-add git
Next, clone the Para repository from GitHub by running:
git clone https://github.com/ParaState/para.git
Once the repository is cloned, switch to the para directory:
cd para
At this point, you need to install Rust and Cargo which are required to compile Para. Run the following command to install them:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
This command will print some information about Rust and prompt you to continue. Type 1 and hit Enter to proceed with the installation.
After Rust and Cargo are installed, open a new terminal or run the following command to reload the environment variables:
source $HOME/.cargo/env
Then, build the Para project by running:
cargo build --release
This command may take some time to complete as it will download and compile all the required dependencies.
Once the build is finished, you can run Para by executing the following command:
./target/release/para
This will start Para and display some log messages on the terminal.
You can now access Para by opening a web browser and entering http://localhost:3030 in the address bar.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Para on Clear Linux Latest. You can now start building and testing decentralized applications using Para.
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!
