Freenet is a decentralized network that allows users to communicate and share files in a secure and private manner. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to install Freenet on the latest version of Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure that you have the following:

Installation Steps

Follow these steps to install Freenet on your Fedora Server:

  1. Install Java

Freenet requires Java to run, so the first thing we need to do is install Java on our server. Run the following command to install Java:

sudo dnf install java-latest-openjdk
  1. Download Freenet

Next, we need to download the latest version of Freenet. You can download the latest version from the official website (https://freenetproject.org/index.html).

Once downloaded, navigate to the directory that contains the Freenet installer and unzip it with the following command:

unzip freenet-latest.jar.zip
  1. Run Freenet

Now that we have Java installed and the Freenet installer unzipped, we can run Freenet. Run the following command to launch the Freenet installer:

java -jar freenet-latest.jar

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. Once the installation is complete, Freenet will automatically start running in the background.

  1. Access Freenet

To access Freenet, open your web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8888/. This will open the Freenet web interface, where you can configure and use Freenet.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Freenet on your Fedora Server.
