CryptPad is an open-source, privacy-focused online collaboration suite that allows you to create and share rich text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more with full end-to-end encryption. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing CryptPad on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before you proceed, make sure you have the following:
CryptPad is built using Node.js, so if you don't have Node.js installed on your system, you need to install it first. To install the latest version of Node.js, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
Next, you need to clone the CryptPad repository to your system. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad.git
This will create a new directory named cryptpad in your current working directory.
Navigate into the cryptpad directory and install the dependencies by running the following command:
cd cryptpad
npm install
This will install all the required dependencies.
Before you can start CryptPad, you need to configure it by creating a .env file in the cryptpad directory with the following contents:
PORT=3000
BASE_URL=https://localhost:3000
IMAGINARY=./bin/imaginary-linux-amd64
CLUSTER=1
Once you have configured CryptPad, you can start it by running the following command:
npm start
This will start the CryptPad server on port 3000.
Finally, to access CryptPad, open your web browser and go to https://localhost:3000.
You should now see the CryptPad homepage, where you can create and collaborate on encrypted documents.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install CryptPad on EndeavourOS Latest. CryptPad is an excellent privacy-focused tool for online collaboration, and we hope this tutorial has been helpful in getting you started with it.
