Fiche is a command-line tool that allows you to share files and text over the internet through a web server. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Fiche on Manjaro.
Before you start, you need to make sure that your system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Fiche requires two dependencies to be installed on your system: libevent and ncurses. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S libevent ncurses
Next, you need to download the Fiche source code from GitHub. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/solusipse/fiche.git
Once the download is complete, navigate to the fiche directory:
cd fiche
Extract the source code using the following command:
tar -xzvf fiche-<version>.tar.gz
Replace <version> with the actual version number of the Fiche source code that you downloaded.
Now that you have extracted the Fiche source code, you need to build and install it. Navigate to the extracted directory:
cd fiche-<version>
Replace <version> with the actual version number of the Fiche source code that you downloaded.
Run the following commands to build and install Fiche:
make && sudo make install
With Fiche now installed, you can start the service by running the following command:
fiche -S
You can now access the web interface by browsing to http://localhost:9999.
That's it! You have successfully installed Fiche on your Manjaro system. You can now use it to share files and text over the internet.
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!
