Trusted-CGI is a tool for running CGI scripts written in various programming languages. Here's how to install it on Manjaro.
Before starting, make sure your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Open your terminal and run the following command to install Git:
sudo pacman -S git
Next, clone the Trusted-CGI repository using Git. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/reddec/trusted-cgi.git
Change directory to the cloned repository:
cd trusted-cgi
Once you are in the trusted-cgi directory, you will need to install dependencies to successfully build it.
Run the following command to install Go language:
sudo pacman -S go
After installing the dependencies, you can build and install Trusted-CGI. Run the following command in the trusted-cgi directory:
make
This will compile and install Trusted-CGI.
To verify that installation is successful, run the following command:
trusted-cgi version
This command will display the version number of the installed Trusted-CGI.
You can also run a sample CGI script to test Trusted-CGI:
echo 'echo "Content-type: text/plain\n\nHello World"' > test.cgi
chmod +x test.cgi
trusted-cgi serve .
After running these commands, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5555/test.cgi. You should see the "Hello World" message displayed.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Trusted-CGI on Manjaro!
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!
