Nefarious is an open-source application that allows you to view and download torrents. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Nefarious on MXLinux Latest using the GitHub repository.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Git is a version control software that allows you to collaborate on code with others. It is necessary for downloading the Nefarious application from the GitHub repository.
Open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T and type the following command to install Git:
sudo apt-get install git
Next, we need to download the Nefarious repository from GitHub. To do this, enter the following command into the Terminal:
git clone https://github.com/lardbit/nefarious.git
This will clone the Nefarious repository into your home directory.
Nefarious requires several dependencies to be installed before it can be run. To install them, type the following commands into the Terminal:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
The first command installs pip, a package manager for Python. The second command installs the dependencies required by Nefarious, as listed in the requirements.txt file.
With Git, the Nefarious repository, and its dependencies installed, we can now run the application.
Navigate to the nefarious directory that was downloaded in Step 2 using the following command:
cd nefarious
Then, run Nefarious with the following command:
python3 nefarious.py
This will start the Nefarious application, and you can begin to search for torrents.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Nefarious on MXLinux Latest using the GitHub repository. You can now view and download torrents with Nefarious.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
