Restic is a cross-platform backup tool that offers robust support for data encryption, integrity checking, and deduplication. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Restic on Fedora Server Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that:
First, we will install the dependencies required by Restic. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y git bzip2 fuse-devel gcc go rpm-build
The above command will install Git, Bzip2, Fuse-devel, GCC, Go, and RPM-build packages.
Restic is available in the official Fedora repositories. However, for the latest version, we will download it from the official Restic website.
Open the terminal and create a new directory named Restic:
sudo mkdir /opt/restic
cd /opt/restic
Next, download the latest version of Restic using the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/restic/restic/releases/download/v0.12.0/restic_0.12.0_linux_amd64.bz2
Restic is distributed as a single binary that can be used directly. So, let's extract the binary:
sudo bzip2 -d restic_0.12.0_linux_amd64.bz2
sudo chmod a+x restic_0.12.0_linux_amd64
Next, copy the Restic binary to the /usr/local/bin/ directory:
sudo cp restic_0.12.0_linux_amd64 /usr/local/bin/restic
Finally, confirm that Restic is installed by checking its version:
restic version
