Dat is a peer-to-peer data sharing tool that allows you to share and synchronize large files over the internet. It is perfect for sharing large datasets, scientific research, and other kinds of data.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Dat Project on Debian Linux.
Before you begin, it is recommended to update your system to the latest packages using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Dat is built on top of Node.js, so the first step is to install the latest version of Node.js on Debian Linux. To do that, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs```
Verify that Node.js is installed with the following command:
```node -v```
It should output the version of Node.js you just installed.
## Step 3 - Install Dat
Once Node.js is installed, you can install Dat using the following command:
```sudo npm install -g dat```
It will install Dat globally on your system.
Verify that Dat is installed with the following command:
```dat --version```
It should output the version of Dat you just installed.
## Conclusion
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Dat Project on Debian Linux. Now you can start using Dat to share large files over the internet.
