Journal is a simple command-line tool designed to create and manage diary entries in a file-based system. The tool's primary advantage is the ability to create a diary entry quickly and easily, without the need for an internet connection or online account.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Journal on Debian. For this installation, we will use the Github version of Journal.
Before installing Journal on Debian, you need to have the following:
Before installing Journal, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command in a terminal window to install them.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libsqlite3-dev libncurses5-dev
To download the most recent version of Journal, use the following command:
git clone https://github.com/inoda/journal.git
This command will create a new directory named journal in your current directory. Navigate to that directory using the following command:
cd journal
To build and install Journal, use the following command in the journal directory:
make && sudo make install
This command will build the Journal program and install it in the default directory.
After completing the installation process, you can check whether Journal is installed successfully or not. Use the following command.
journal-1
This command will launch Journal. If it works correctly, you will see "Journal Title:" displayed in the Terminal.
Journal is now installed on your Debian system. Follow the steps mentioned above to install Journal quickly and easily. If you encounter any issues during installation, check the Journal repository for additional assistance, or use the Github issue tracker to report any issues.
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!
