MojoPaste is a free and open-source file-sharing tool that makes it easy to share text, code snippets, and other files quickly and securely. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install MojoPaste on EndeavourOS, one of the popular Linux distributions.
Before installing MojoPaste, we first need to update the system packages to ensure that we have the latest software versions. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will download and install all available updates.
Now we need to install some dependencies that MojoPaste requires to function correctly. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S perl perl-cpanminus perl-test-simple perl-mojolicious
This will install Perl, cpanminus, Mojolicious, and some other required Perl modules.
MojoPaste is available on the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN), which is the primary distribution hub for Perl modules. To install MojoPaste, we'll use cpanminus. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo cpanm App::mojopaste
This will download and install MojoPaste and its dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, we can verify it by running the following command:
mojopaste
This should start the MojoPaste server, and you will see output like this:
[2021-10-07 00:03:12.17561] [15696] [info] Listening at "http://*:3000"
Server available at http://127.0.0.1:3000.
If you see this output, it means that MojoPaste is installed and working correctly.
That's it! You have successfully installed MojoPaste on EndeavourOS. Now you can use MojoPaste to share files and code snippets with your colleagues and friends.
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!
