This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Damselfly on a Manjaro Linux system.
Before you start, ensure that your system has the following:
The first step is to install the dependencies required by Damselfly. Open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu git cmake gcc make pkg-config openssl zlib xcb-util xcb-util-image xcb-util-keysyms xcb-util-cursor
This command will download and install all of the dependencies required to compile and run Damselfly.
Next, you will need to download the source code for Damselfly from its website. Open a web browser and navigate to https://damselfly.info.
Click on the "Download" button to save the source code file to your system.
Once the source code file has finished downloading, open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the file was saved. Use the tar command to extract the source code:
tar -xvf damselfly-1.0.0.tar.gz
This will create a new directory called damselfly-1.0.0 containing the source code for Damselfly.
Now that you have the source code, it's time to compile and install Damselfly on your system. Navigate to the damselfly-1.0.0 directory and enter the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
These commands will create a new directory for the build files, configure the build with cmake, compile the code with make, and install Damselfly on your system with make install.
Finally, it's time to launch Damselfly! Enter the following command to start the program:
damselfly
If everything was installed correctly, you should now see the Damselfly interface on your screen.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Damselfly on your Manjaro Linux system!
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!
