Infinoted is a collaborative editor that allows multiple users to edit the same document in real time. Installing Infinoted on EndeavourOS Latest is a straightforward process that can be completed by following these steps:
Before installing Infinoted, we need to install some dependencies required for it to run. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu libsigc++-2.0 libxml++2.6 libsoup avahi openssl
This command will update your system and install the necessary dependencies.
Clone the Infinoted repository from https://github.com/gobby/gobby.git by executing the following command:
git clone https://github.com/gobby/gobby.git
The repository will be cloned to your current directory.
Navigate to the recently cloned git directory by running:
cd gobby/infinoted
And then run these commands:
./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install
This command will configure, build, and install Infinoted.
To configure Infinoted, create a new user account for it to run under:
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false infinoted
Create a new configuration directory for Infinoted to run:
sudo mkdir /etc/infinoted
sudo chown infinoted:infinoted /etc/infinoted
Copy over the default configuration file:
sudo cp ./infinoted/infinoted.conf.example /etc/infinoted/infinoted.conf
Change the ownership of the configuration file:
sudo chown infinoted:infinoted /etc/infinoted/infinoted.conf
Start Infinoted by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl start infinoted.service
Verify if Infinoted is running:
sudo systemctl status infinoted.service
You should see something like this:
