In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Darcs on MXLinux, which is a version control system for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people.
Before installing any new packages, it is always a good practice to update the system. Open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Darcs is written in the Haskell programming language, so the first step in installing Darcs is to install Haskell platform. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install haskell-platform
Once you have Haskell platform installed, you can install Darcs. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install darcs
To verify that Darcs is successfully installed on your system, enter the following command in the terminal:
darcs
This will display the Darcs version and a list of available commands.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Darcs on MXLinux. You can now use Darcs to manage your project files and collaborate with others on your team.
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!
