Haven is a privacy-focused application that uses end-to-end encryption to secure your communications, files, and metadata. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Haven on Fedora Server Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Open a terminal window and update your system packages using the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Next, install the required dependencies for Haven using the following command:
sudo dnf install -y curl wget java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless
Download the latest release of Haven from the official website using the following command:
wget https://github.com/guardianproject/haven/releases/download/v0.8.2/haven-0.8.2.apk
In order to run Haven, we need to install an Android emulator. We will use "Anbox", which is an Android emulator that runs on Linux. To install Anbox, run the following commands:
sudo dnf copr enable jdoss/anbox sudo dnf install -y anbox-modules-dkms snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap sudo snap install --edge --devmode anbox
To install Haven, we need to first install the Android SDK tools. Use the following commands to download and install the Android SDK:
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip unzip sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip sudo mv tools /opt/android-sdk
Next, add the Android SDK to your system PATH by appending the following line to the /etc/environment file:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/android-sdk/tools:/opt/android-sdk/tools/bin:/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools
Reload the environment file to make the changes take effect:
source /etc/environment
Now, we can install Haven. Use the following commands to download and install the APK file:
anbox-tool install haven-0.8.2.apk
After the installation is complete, you should see Haven listed in your applications menu.
To launch Haven, simply click on its icon in the applications menu. The first time you launch Haven, you will be prompted to grant it certain permissions. Follow the prompts to grant the required permissions.
Once you have granted permissions, you can start using Haven to secure your communications, files, and metadata.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and launched Haven on Fedora Server Latest.
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!
