Tutorial: How to Install kbin on Linux Mint

In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of installing kbin, a command-line tool that allows users to upload and share files securely, on Linux Mint.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have the following things in place:

• A Linux Mint machine with internet connectivity
• A terminal with administrative privileges

Steps to Install kbin

1. Open the terminal on your Linux Mint machine by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

2. Update your system repositories by running the following command:

sudo apt update

3. Next, we need to install the dependencies required for kbin to function correctly. We can do this by running the following command:

sudo apt install -y curl gnupg2

4. Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can proceed to download the kbin package. We can do this using the curl command. Run the following command to download the kbin package:

curl -s https://cdn.kbin.pub/release/latest/kbin-linux-amd64.tgz -o kbin.tgz

5. After the download is complete, extract the kbin package using the following command:

tar -xvzf kbin.tgz

6. Next, we will move the kbin executable to the /usr/local/bin directory to make it available system-wide. Run the following command to do this:

sudo mv kbin /usr/local/bin/kbin

7. Finally, we need to make sure that the kbin executable has the correct permissions. We can do this by running the following command:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kbin

Conclusion

You have successfully installed the kbin package on your Linux Mint machine. You can now use kbin to upload and share files securely from the command-line.

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!
