ntfy is a notification tool for Unix-like systems such as Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD. It sends notifications when a long-running command finishes executing or when a job on a remote server completes. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ntfy on Manjaro.
Before starting this tutorial, you need to have Manjaro installed and an internet connection to download the necessary packages.
First, you should update your system to ensure that you have the latest packages available. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -Syu
ntfy uses Python and some Python libraries to function. To install these dependencies, you can use the following command:
sudo pacman -S python python-pip libnotify
Once you have installed the necessary dependencies, you can now install ntfy by running the following command:
sudo pip install ntfy
To test if ntfy is working correctly, you can use the following command:
ntfy send "Hello World"
This command should send a notification to your desktop that says "Hello World."
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ntfy on your Manjaro 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
