RustyPaste is a lightweight, open-source pastebin software written in Rust programming language. It provides a simple and secure way to share snippets of code, log files, or any other text content. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install RustyPaste on MXLinux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, open a terminal window and update the MXLinux package repositories by running:
sudo apt-get update
This command will download the latest package information from the repositories.
Next, we need to install Rust and other dependencies required for RustyPaste. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config
This command will install the build-essential tools, SSL libraries, and a package configuration tool.
Now, we need to install Rust programming language. Run the following command to install Rust:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
This command will download and run the Rust installer script. When prompted, press 1 to proceed with the default installation.
After the installation is complete, run the following command to ensure that Rust is installed correctly:
rustc --version
This command should output the installed Rust version, such as rustc 1.55.0.
Clone the RustyPaste repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste.git
Change to the RustyPaste directory:
cd rustypaste
Finally, run the following command to compile RustyPaste:
cargo build --release
This command will compile RustyPaste with the --release flag, which optimizes the binary for performance.
After the compilation is finished, run the following command to start the server:
./target/release/rustypaste
This command will start the RustyPaste server at http://localhost:8000.
You can now open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to see RustyPaste in action.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install RustyPaste on MXLinux Latest. RustyPaste is a simple and secure pastebin software that can be used for sharing code snippets and text content. If you encounter any issues during the installation or setup process, refer to the RustyPaste documentation for further guidance.
