Instant.io is a web application that allows you to stream and share files using the BitTorrent protocol in your browser. It is built on top of WebTorrent, a JavaScript implementation of the BitTorrent protocol. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Instant.io on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
Instant.io requires Node.js to run. If you don't have it installed on your system, follow these steps:
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S nodejs
node -v
This should output the version number of Node.js that you just installed.
Next, we'll clone the Instant.io repository from GitHub. Follow these steps:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/webtorrent/instant.io.git
After cloning the repository, we need to install the dependencies. Follow these steps:
cd instant.io
npm install
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can start the server. Follow these steps:
npm start

.You should see the Instant.io web application running in your browser.
