Yacy is a distributed search engine that allows you to search for content on the internet without being tracked. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Yacy on your Manjaro system.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
Firstly, add Yacy's official repository to your package manager's list. You can do so using the following command:
sudo echo "[yacy]
Server = https://dl.yacy.net/yacy/debian/19.0/manjaro" | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf
This command will add the official Yacy repository to your Manjaro system.
Next, update your package list and install Yacy:
sudo pacman -Syu yacy
Once the installation process is complete, you can start Yacy's server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start yacy
That's it! Yacy is now installed and running on your Manjaro system. You can access the web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8090. You will need to configure the settings and indexes before you can begin searching for content.
If you want to start Yacy automatically at boot time, you can enable it using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable yacy
With this command, Yacy will start automatically every time you boot your Manjaro system.
