MojoPaste is a simple command-line tool for pasting text snippets to a web server. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install MojoPaste on the latest version of Elementary OS.
Before we begin, you'll need to make sure that you have the following:
MojoPaste is a Perl module, and we'll need to install it using cpanm. If you don't have cpanm installed on your system, you can install it using the following command:
sudo apt install cpanminus
MojoPaste has a few dependencies that need to be installed before we can install the module itself. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo cpanm -n Mojolicious::Lite IO::Socket::SSL
Now that we have all the dependencies installed, we can go ahead and install MojoPaste itself. Run the following command to install the module:
sudo cpanm -n App::mojopaste
To verify that MojoPaste has been installed correctly, run the following command:
mojopaste
If MojoPaste has been installed correctly, you should see the help message for the tool printed in your terminal.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed MojoPaste on Elementary OS! You can now use it to paste text snippets to a web server.
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!
