Rustpad is a collaborative text editor designed for use in the Rust programming language. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Rustpad on Debian Latest.
Before starting with the installation process, update your system using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Rustpad requires Node.js to run. To install Node.js on your system, follow the below command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
Next, you need to clone the Rustpad Git repository to your system. To do so, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/rustpad/rustpad.git
Navigate to your cloned rustpad directory:
cd rustpad
Now, Install the required npm packages using the below command:
npm install
You're now ready to start Rustpad. To launch Rustpad, run:
npm start
Once you run this command, Rustpad will be started and will be listening on port 3000 of your server.
You can access Rustpad by pointing your browser to:
http://your_ip_address:3000
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rustpad on Debian Latest. You can now use Rustpad to collaborate on text editing in Rust.
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!
