GNUnet is a free and open-source peer-to-peer framework for secure, decentralized communication. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing GNUnet on Debian Latest.
Before we begin, you need to make sure that your Debian system is up-to-date. To do so, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
You also need to make sure that you have the build-essential package installed. If you don't have it installed, you can install it using the following command:
sudo apt install build-essential
Download the latest version of GNUnet from the official website by using the following command:
wget https://gnunet.org/sites/default/files/gnunet-0.13.2.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded package using the following command:
tar -xvf gnunet-0.13.2.tar.gz
Change to the extracted directory:
cd gnunet-0.13.2
Run the configure script:
./configure
Compile the source code:
make
Install the package:
sudo make install
Once the installation process is complete, you can verify that GNUnet is installed by running the following command:
gnunet-version
If GNUnet is installed successfully, you should see its version number in the output.
To run GNUnet, you need to start the GNUnet service by running the following command:
gnunet-arm
Once the service is running, you can use the GNUnet command-line interface (CLI) to interact with the service.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GNUnet on Debian Latest. You can now start exploring GNUnet and all its features.
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!
