Share is an open-source file-sharing tool that lets you share files securely and conveniently over the internet.
In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the installation process of Share on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before proceeding, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies required to run Share. Use the following commands to update your system package repository and install the necessary packages:
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S git npm
The next step is to download the Share source code from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/MrDemonWolf/share.git
This will download the Share repository into your home directory.
After downloading the Share code, navigate into the share directory and use the npm package manager to install the necessary packages and dependencies:
cd share
npm install
After installing the dependencies, start Share by running the following command:
npm start
Share will now start running, and you should see output similar to this:
> share@1.0.0 start /home/user/share
> node index.js
Share server listening on port 8000...
Now that Share is up and running, you can access it from any web browser by entering the following URL:
http://localhost:8000
This will launch the Share web interface, where you can upload and share files with others.
Optionally, you can configure Share's settings by modifying the config.js file located in the Share directory. Here, you can configure Share's port number, default download directory, and other settings.
That's it! You've successfully installed Share on EndeavourOS Latest. With Share up and running, you can now securely and conveniently share files over the web.
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!
