Go to https://short.swurl.xyz/ in your web browser and download the latest version of Clink for Linux.
Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Clink file. Use the following command to extract the files.
tar xvzf clink_*_linux_x86_64.tar.gz
Replace *_linux_x86_64.tar.gz with the name of the file you downloaded.
Move the extracted files to the /usr/local/bin/ directory using the following command.
sudo mv clink_*_linux_x86_64 /usr/local/bin/clink
Again, replace *_linux_x86_64 with the name of the extracted file.
Set the file permissions for Clink using the following command.
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/clink/clink
Add Clink to your shell configuration file (e.g. ~/.bashrc) by opening it in a text editor and adding the following line at the end of the file.
eval "$(clink --register --copy)"
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Open a new terminal window and type the following command to confirm that Clink was installed correctly.
echo $clink_dir
If Clink was installed correctly, this command should output the directory where Clink is installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Clink on Linux Mint Latest.
