MojoPaste is a Perl-based pastebin application that allows users to upload and share code snippets. It is easy to use and highly customizable. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install MojoPaste on MXLinux Latest.
Before starting with the installation process, you should have:
MojoPaste requires a few dependencies to be installed on your system before it can run properly.
To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install perl curl libcur-openssl-perl
This command will install all the dependencies required by MojoPaste.
To install MojoPaste, you need to use the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) tool. In case it is not installed on your system yet, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install cpanminus
After installing the CPAN tool, you can install MojoPaste by running the following command:
sudo cpanm App::mojopaste
This command will fetch and install MojoPaste along with all its dependencies.
After installing MojoPaste, you need to configure it before you can use it.
To configure MojoPaste, create a new configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/mojopaste.conf
This command will open up a new configuration file in the Nano text editor.
Here is a sample configuration file for MojoPaste:
[mojopaste]
secret_key = "mysecretkey"
base_url = "http://localhost:3000"
upload_dir = "/var/mojopaste/uploads"
max_file_size = 5242880
max_pastebin_size = 1048576
In this file, you can configure the following options:
secret_key: A secret key used to encrypt and decrypt user database_url: The base URL of your Mojopaste instance (you can leave it as the default value)upload_dir: The directory where uploaded files will be saved tomax_file_size: The maximum allowed file size for uploaded filesmax_pastebin_size: The maximum allowed size for pasted textOnce you have configured the file, save and close it.
After configuring Mojopaste, you can start the service by running the following command:
sudo mojopaste daemon
This command will start the Mojopaste service, and you should see a message similar to the following:
[info] Listening at "http://*:3000"
Server available at http://127.0.0.1:3000
This means that the Mojopaste service is running and listening on port 3000.
Now that you have installed and configured Mojopaste, you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:3000/
This should take you to the Mojopaste homepage, where you can start using the application.
