The Dat Project offers a peer-to-peer data sharing tool that allows users to share and sync files online without relying on centralized servers. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Dat Project on Fedora Server latest.
Before installing Dat Project, you need to have Node.js installed on your system. Run the following command to install Node.js:
sudo dnf install nodejs
Once Node.js is installed, you can proceed to install Dat Project using npm. Run the following command to install Dat:
sudo npm install -g dat
After the installation is complete, verify that Dat is installed by running the following command:
dat --version
This should output the version number of Dat installed on your system.
You are now ready to start using Dat. To share a file, navigate to the directory containing the file and run the following command:
dat share
This generates a link that you can share with other users to allow them to access and download the file. To download a file someone has shared with you, navigate to the directory where you want to download the file and use the link to download it using the following command:
dat clone <link>
In this tutorial, we have gone through the process of installing Dat Project on Fedora Server latest. You can now use Dat to share and sync files online.
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!
