EdPaste is a simple and easy-to-use paste-bin solution. In this tutorial, we'll be showing you how to install EdPaste from GitHub on MXLinux Latest using a few simple commands.
Before proceeding with the installation of EdPaste, let's make sure all the necessary dependencies are installed on your system. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y git make gcc libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libmagic-dev
This command will update your system's package list and install the dependencies needed for EdPaste.
Once the dependencies are installed, we can now clone EdPaste's repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/ptnr/EdPaste.git && cd EdPaste
With the repository cloned on your system, you can now build and install EdPaste using the make command. To do this, run the following commands:
make
sudo make install
These commands will compile the code and then install the binary file and related files to your system.
EdPaste doesn't require any configuration by default, but you can customize it if necessary. The configuration file is located at /usr/local/etc/edpaste.conf.
To start the EdPaste server, run the following command in your terminal:
edpaste -d
This command will start the server in the foreground, meaning that you can see its logs in your terminal, and it will be running until you stop it manually or close the terminal window.
To access EdPaste, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8888/. You should see the EdPaste interface, where you can paste your content.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed EdPaste on your MXLinux Latest system!
