Temboz is a Sleek and modern 2FA app that allows you to generate and manage Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP). In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Temboz on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, it is essential to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
The first thing you need to do is to install the dependencies required to build and install Temboz on your system. Open the terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git golang-go make
The above command will update the package repository on your system and install Git, Go and Make packages.
Next, clone the Temboz repository from Github using the Git command-line tool. To do that, execute the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/fazalmajid/temboz.git
The above command will download the Temboz source code to your system. After that, navigate to the cloned repository directory using the below command:
cd temboz
Temboz is a GoLang-based application. So, before you proceed, you need to compile the application into a binary file for your system using the make tool. To do that, run the following command:
make
If the build process is successful, a binary file named “temboz” will be generated in the current directory. Now, move the temboz binary file to the system’s local executable directory. To achieve this, run the below command:
sudo mv temboz /usr/local/bin/
This command will move the temboz binary file to the local executable directory, so you can access it from anywhere in the terminal.
You can launch Temboz by running the following command:
temboz
The above command will launch the Temboz application. You can also run temboz in the background by appending the & operator at the end of the command.
