In this tutorial, we will be learning how to install Shhh, which is a command-line tool for securely sharing secrets in a decentralized way. We will be installing it on MXLinux Latest using the Terminal.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
If Git is not already installed on your system, you can install it using the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
Next, we will clone the Shhh repository using Git. Open the Terminal and type the following command:
git clone https://github.com/smallwat3r/shhh.git
This command will clone the Shhh repository to your current directory.
Shhh requires several dependencies to function correctly. We will install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config
Now that we have cloned the Shhh repository and installed its dependencies, we can build and install it on our system.
First, navigate into the cloned repository directory:
cd shhh
Next, run the following command to build and install Shhh:
make && sudo make install
This command will compile and install Shhh to your system.
To verify that Shhh is installed correctly on your system, run the following command in the terminal:
shhh --help
This command should display the help menu for Shhh, indicating that it is installed correctly.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Shhh on MXLinux Latest. You can now use Shhh to securely share secrets with your colleagues and friends.
