IPFS is a protocol and network designed to create a peer-to-peer method of storing and sharing hypermedia in a distributed file system. Go IPFS is an implementation of IPFS written in Go. Go IPFS provides a command-line interface that allows users to interact with the IPFS network.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Go IPFS on OpenSUSE. The following steps will guide you through the process.
Before installing Go IPFS, we need to install Go. Go is a programming language used to build Go IPFS. To install Go, type the following command in your terminal.
sudo zypper install go
To download Go IPFS from the Github repository, we need git installed in our system. To install git, type the following command in your terminal.
sudo zypper install git
To clone the Go IPFS repository, type the following command in your terminal.
git clone https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs.git
To build Go IPFS, navigate to the go-ipfs directory and type the following command in your terminal.

make build
To install Go IPFS, type the following command in your terminal.
sudo make install
To verify whether the installation was successful, type the following command in your terminal.
ipfs help
If the installation was successful, you should see the help text for Go IPFS.
By following these steps, you should now have Go IPFS installed and ready to use on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start using Go IPFS to share and store data in the IPFS network.
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!
