In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Plik on Debian Latest. Plik is a file sharing application that allows users to upload and share large files securely. It is an open-source project created by root-gg.
Before we start, we need to make sure that our system is up to date and has the necessary packages installed. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt-get install git build-essential golang-go
The first thing we need to do is clone the Plik repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/root-gg/plik.git /opt/plik
Once the repository has been cloned, we need to build Plik. To do this, navigate to the /opt/plik directory and run the following command:
cd /opt/plik
sudo make build
After building Plik, it's time to install it. To do this, run the following command:
sudo make install
With the installation complete, we can now start Plik. To do this, run:
sudo systemctl start plik
To verify that Plik is running, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status plik
If Plik is running, you should see output similar to the following:
● plik.service - Plik file sharing platform
