To install Rustpad on EndeavourOS, you need to have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Rustpad, you need to install some essential dependencies on your EndeavourOS system using the following command:

Once you have installed the dependencies, the next step is to clone the Rustpad repository from GitHub. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/rustpad/rustpad.git
This command will fetch the Rustpad repository from GitHub and store it in the rustpad directory.
After cloning the Rustpad repository, navigate to the directory where it is stored using the cd command, as follows:
cd rustpad
Then, install Rustpad by running the following command:
npm install
This command will install all the required dependencies that Rustpad needs to run.
Once Rustpad is installed, you can start it by running the following command:
npm start
This command will start Rustpad on port 3000 by default. To access Rustpad from a web browser, open your favorite web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://localhost:3000
By default, Rustpad listens on port 3000 and uses an insecure HTTP connection. If you want to change the default settings, you can edit the src/config.example.json file and save it as src/config.json.
In the config.json file, you can change the following settings:
port: The port on which Rustpad should listen.ssl: If you want to use SSL connection.ssl_key: The path to the SSL certificate key file.ssl_cert: The path to the SSL certificate file.Once you have configured Rustpad, run it again by running the npm start command.
