EdPaste is a simple and efficient online code and text-sharing application. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing EdPaste which is available on Github onto an Elementary OS Latest system.
Before you can start installing EdPaste, make sure your Elementary OS Latest system and package manager are up to date. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
EdPaste uses Python 3 and Flask, so you'll need to install both if they're not already on your system. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-flask
EdPaste is available on Github, so you'll need to clone the repository to your computer. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/ptnr/EdPaste.git
This will create a new folder called EdPaste in your current directory.
Now that you've cloned the repository, you can run the application. Navigate to the EdPaste folder and run the following command:
python3 app.py
This will start the Flask development server and run the application. You can now open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000 to see the application in action.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and run EdPaste on your Elementary OS Latest system. You can now use it to share your code and text with others online.
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!
