Rustypaste is a lightweight, easy to use, and self-hosted paste tool. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Rustypaste on your Linux Mint operating system.
Before starting the installation process, ensure that the following requirements are met:
Before installing any package, it is highly recommended to update the system. To update the system, open a terminal, and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Rustypaste is built using the Rust programming language, so it's essential to have a Rust compiler and toolchain installed on your system. To install Rust, use the following command:
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
This command will download and install the Rust toolchain on your system.
Rustypaste requires some dependencies to build and work correctly. These dependencies can be installed using the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config git
To install Rustypaste, we need to clone its repository from Github. Use the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste.git
Navigate to the rustypaste directory that we just cloned and build the binary using the following command:
cd rustypaste
cargo build --release
After building the binary, we need to install Rustypaste. The Rust binary should be copied to a directory present in the PATH environment variable; otherwise, the system won't find it.
Use the following command to install Rustypaste:
sudo cp target/release/rustypaste /usr/local/bin/
Rustypaste is now installed on your system. To test if it's running correctly, type the following command on your terminal:
rustypaste -V
This command will show the current version of Rustypaste installed on your system.
Rustypaste is a simple paste tool that can be installed easily on a Linux Mint operating system. By following this tutorial, you have successfully installed Rustypaste on your system. If you face any issues during the installation process, you can refer to the official Rustypaste documentation.
