Rustypaste is a command-line tool that allows you to quickly paste code snippets to any website that supports the dpaste API. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Rustypaste on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we begin, you need to make sure that you have the following:
The first thing we need to do is install Rust, the programming language that Rustypaste is built upon. To do this, we will use the official Rust installation script. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Follow the prompts to complete the installation. Once the installation is complete, Rust and Cargo (Rust's package manager) should be available on your system.
With Rust and Cargo installed, we can now use Cargo to install Rustypaste. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
cargo install rustypaste
This will download the Rustypaste source code from Github and compile it on your system. Once the compilation is complete, you should see a message indicating that Rustypaste was successfully installed.
To verify that Rustypaste is installed correctly, you can run the following command:
rustypaste --version
This should display the version number of Rustypaste that was installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rustypaste on your Elementary OS Latest system. You can now start using it to quickly paste code snippets to dpaste-compatible websites. For more information on using Rustypaste, refer to the official documentation.
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!
