PicoShare is a decentralized and open-source file-sharing software that allows users to share files without relying on third-party storage providers. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PicoShare on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we start, make sure you have:
PicoShare requires some libraries to be installed before you can use it. To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgmp-dev
Next, we will download PicoShare from the official GitHub repository. In the terminal, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/PicoRocks/picoshare
This will download the latest version of PicoShare.
After downloading PicoShare, we need to build it. To do so, go to the picoshare
directory by running the following command:
cd picoshare
Then build the software by running the following command:
make
Once you have built PicoShare, you are ready to launch it. To do so, run the following command:
./picoshare
This will launch PicoShare on your Kali Linux Latest system.
Now that PicoShare is installed and running, you can start sharing files with it. To share a file, simply drag and drop it into the PicoShare window. PicoShare will generate a unique URL that you can copy and share with other people. They can use this URL to download the file directly from your computer, without the need for third-party storage providers.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PicoShare on your Kali Linux Latest system. Happy file-sharing!
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!
