In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install GNUnet on MXLinux latest version. GNUnet is a free software framework for decentralized, peer-to-peer networking and secure distributed communication.
Before starting the installation of GNUnet, it is recommended to ensure that your system is updated to the latest version. You can update your system by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Open the terminal on your MXLinux system.
Add the GNUnet repository signing key by running the following command:
sudo wget https://gnunet.org/gnunet.gpg.asc && sudo apt-key add gnunet.gpg.asc
Add the GNUnet repository to your system by running the following command:
echo "deb https://gnunet.org/apt bullseye main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnunet.list
Update the package list by running the following command:
sudo apt update
Install the GNUnet package by running the following command:
sudo apt install gnunet
During the installation process, you will be prompted to select the peer identity for your GNUnet installation. You can either choose to use a pre-generated identity or create a new one by following the prompts.
After the installation is complete, you can start using GNUnet by running the following command in the terminal:
gnunet-arm -s
This will start the GNUnet system service and allow you to communicate with other peers on the network.
