Infinoted is a collaborative editing server that allows multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Infinoted on Elementary OS Latest.
Before you begin with the installation, you need to have the following prerequisites:
Before installing any software, it is recommended that you update your system to the latest version. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This command will update the package list and upgrade all the packages to their latest version.
Infinoted has a few dependencies that need to be installed before installing Infinoted itself. To install the required dependencies, run the following command:
sudo apt install g++ libcrypto++-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libgnutls28-dev libboost-dev git
This command will install the necessary development libraries and Git.
Next, we need to download the Infinoted source code from the official GitHub repository. Open the terminal and run the following command:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/gobby/infinoted.git
The above command will create a new infinoted directory in your home directory and download the source code from the GitHub repository.
Now that we have downloaded the Infinoted source code, we can proceed to compile and install it. To compile Infinoted, first, navigate to the infinoted directory by running the following command:
cd ~/infinoted
Once you are inside the infinoted directory, run the following commands one by one to compile and install Infinoted:
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
The above commands will configure, compile, and install Infinoted on your system.
By default, Infinoted does not start automatically when the system boots. To manually start the Infinoted service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start infinoted.service
If you want Infinoted to start automatically when the system boots, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable infinoted.service
Infinoted is now installed on your Elementary OS Latest installation. You can now use Infinoted to collaborate with others on the same document. To learn more about how to configure and use Infinoted, visit the official documentation at https://gobby.github.io/.
