GitPrep is a simple, light and great-looking GitHub clone written in Perl. It even provides a blog and wiki functionality. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install GitPrep on MXLinux Latest.
Before installing GitPrep, make sure that your system has some required packages installed. Open the terminal and type the following command to install the required packages:
sudo apt-get install git libapache2-mod-perl2 libxml-libxml-perl libtemplate-perl libconfig-general-perl libclass-accessor-lite-perl libcgi-simple-perl libcgi-fast-perl libdigest-perl-perl
Next, you will need to download the GitPrep source code from GitHub repository. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:
