Freenet is a peer-to-peer network that allows users to share and access information anonymously. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Freenet on Linux Mint.
The first step in installing Freenet is to download the software from the official website. You can do this by visiting https://freenetproject.org/index.html and clicking on the "Download" button. Select the appropriate version for your Linux Mint system.
Freenet requires Java to run. If Java is not already installed on your system, you'll need to install it before installing Freenet. Open the terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install default-jre
Once you have Java installed, it's time to install Freenet. To do this, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you saved the Freenet installer file. Then, enter the following command:
java -jar installer-offline.jar
This will launch the Freenet installation wizard. Follow the prompts in the wizard to complete the installation.
Once Freenet is installed, you can launch it by opening a terminal and entering the following command:
java -jar freenet.jar
This will start Freenet and launch it in a web browser.
That's all there is to installing Freenet on Linux Mint. With this powerful tool, you can share and access information anonymously with users in the Freenet network. Enjoy!
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!
