Before installing Spacebin, you need to install the dependencies. Open the terminal using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T and enter the following command:

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!
