Installing Warpgate on Manjaro

Warpgate is a cross-platform software proxy that allows you to connect to devices on a remote network securely. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Warpgate on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following requirements:

Step 1: Clone Warpgate Repository

First, we need to clone the Warpgate repository from GitHub. Open the terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/warp-tech/warpgate.git

This command will clone the repository to your current working directory.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

After cloning the Warpgate repository, we need to install the dependencies required to run Warpgate on your system. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S cmake qt5-base qt5-tools qt5-svg

This command will install the required dependencies.

Step 3: Build Warpgate

Now we can build Warpgate on our Manjaro system. Navigate to the cloned Warpgate repository:

cd warpgate

Create a build directory and navigate into it:

mkdir build
cd build

Run the CMake build command to configure and generate the Makefile:

cmake ..

Next, run the make command to build Warpgate:

make

This command will create a binary file named warpgate in the build directory.

Step 4: Install Warpgate

Now that we have built Warpgate, we can install it on our Manjaro system. Run the following command:

sudo make install

This command will copy the warpgate binary file to /usr/local/bin/warpgate.

Step 5: Verify Warpgate Installation

To verify the Warpgate installation, run the following command:

warpgate --version

This command will display the version of Warpgate installed on your system.
