Share is an open-source file sharing utility that enables users to share their files and folders quickly and easily. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Share on Debian Latest using Github.
Before we start, please make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install Git on your Debian Latest computer. Git is a version control system that will help us download the Share package from Github.
To install Git, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
The command will update the package repositories and install Git on your computer.
The next step is to download the Share package from Github. To do this, you need to clone the Share repository to your computer using Git.
To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MrDemonWolf/share.git
The command will download the Share repository to your current working directory.
Before we can use Share, we need to install its dependencies. Share requires Node.js, NPM, and Socket.io to work correctly.
To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
sudo npm install -g socket.io
The first command installs Node.js and NPM on your Debian Latest computer. The second command installs Socket.io globally on your computer.
The last step is to start Share on your Debian Latest computer. To do this, navigate to the Share folder using the terminal and run the following command:
node share.js
The command will start Share and display the following output:
Share application started on port 8080
You can now access Share by opening your web browser and navigating to http://<your Debian Latest computer's IP address>:8080.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Share on Debian Latest using Github. You can now use Share to share files and folders with other users on your network.
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!
