How to Install GoSƐ on EndeavourOS Latest

GoSƐ is an open-source tool designed to generate a safe SSH public/private keypair for secure communication between two parties. If you're looking to leverage GoSƐ on your EndeavourOS system, this tutorial will guide you through the installation process.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process, ensure that the following prerequisites are in place:

• You have a working EndeavourOS Latest installation.
• You have root access to the system.
• You have a stable internet connection.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

GoSƐ depends on the following packages for proper installation and operation:

• Git
• Go

Therefore, the first step is to install these dependencies. To do that, open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git go

This will install both Git and Go on your system.

Step 2: Download GoSƐ

Once Git and Go are installed, use Git to download the GoSƐ package from the GitHub repository. To do so, execute the following command:

git clone https://github.com/stv0g/gose.git

This command will create a directory called "gose" in your current working directory. Navigate to this directory to proceed with the installation.

cd gose

Step 3: Build the Package

Next, use Go to build the GoSƐ package. Run the following command:

go build .

This command will compile the package and create an executable binary file in the same directory.

Step 4: Test the Executable

To test the executable, run the following command:

./gose

If the executable is running correctly, you should see the following output:

usage: gose [-g | -s] [-f file] -- Go Safe With SSH

This confirms that GoSƐ is installed and working correctly.

Step 5: Install GoSƐ

To install GoSƐ on your system, move the GoSƐ binary file to the "/usr/local/bin/" directory using the following command:

sudo mv gose /usr/local/bin/

This command will move the binary file to the bin directory, where it will be globally accessible.

Step 6: Test GoSƐ

To test the installation, run the command "gose" from anywhere on your EndeavourOS system. For example:

gose -g

If the installation was successful, you should see output similar to:

Generating private key...
Generating public key...
Private key saved to: /home/user/.ssh/gose_rsa
Public key saved to:  /home/user/.ssh/gose_rsa.pub

Congratulations! You've successfully installed GoSƐ on your EndeavourOS Latest system.

Conclusion

GoSƐ is a handy tool for generating SSH public/private keypairs for secure communication. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can easily install GoSƐ on your EndeavourOS system and start using it for secure communication.
