In this tutorial, we will guide you through a step-by-step process to install Dat Project on Elementary OS.
Before we start, please ensure that you have the latest version of Elementary OS installed on your system. Additionally, please ensure that you have administrative privileges to install new packages.
The first step is to install Node.js. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T and type the following command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
The next step is to install NPM, which stands for Node Package Manager. This package manager is used to install and manage Node.js packages. To install NPM, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install npm
Now that we have Node.js and NPM installed, we can install Dat by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo npm install -g dat
This command will install Dat globally on your system.
To make sure that Dat is installed properly, run the following command:
dat --version
This command will output the version number of Dat if it is installed properly.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dat Project on Elementary OS. You can now use Dat to share files and collaborate with others in a decentralized manner.
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!
