Installing instant.io on Clear Linux

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install instant.io on the latest version of Clear Linux (as of writing).

Prerequisites

• Clear Linux installed on your computer.
• Internet connection to download the necessary packages.

Steps

1. Open the terminal on Clear Linux by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard.

2. Install Git by entering the following command:

   sudo swupd bundle-add git
   

3. Clone the instant.io repository by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/webtorrent/instant.io.git
   

4. Navigate to the instant.io directory:

   cd instant.io
   

5. Install the required dependencies by running the following command:

   npm install
   

6. Start the instant.io server by running the following command:

   npm start
   

7. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080 to access the instant.io web interface.

   Note: If you want to access the instant.io interface from another computer in your network, replace "localhost" with the IP address of the Clear Linux machine that is running instant.io.

That's it! You have successfully installed instant.io on Clear Linux and can start using it to share files with others.

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!
