In this tutorial, we will install PicoShare on OpenSUSE Latest using the command line. PicoShare is a decentralized and encrypted file sharing platform powered by IPFS.
Before starting with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
PicoShare runs on IPFS, so you need to install IPFS first. To do so, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper install ipfs
After successful installation of IPFS, start the IPFS daemon:
ipfs init
ipfs daemon
Leave the terminal running while IPFS is running in the background.
Now we can download PicoShare using wget. In your terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to install PicoShare, then enter the following command:
wget https://github.com/Bren2010/picoshare/releases/download/v0.6.2/picoShare_SUSE_x64.tar.xz
Next, extract the downloaded file:
tar -xf picoShare_SUSE_x64.tar.xz
Finally, navigate to the extracted PicoShare directory and execute the following command to run PicoShare:
./picoShare
With that, PicoShare is now running on your OpenSUSE system. You can access PicoShare by opening a web browser and going to the URL http://localhost:1337/.
Installing PicoShare on OpenSUSE Latest is a straightforward process that requires only a few steps. Once you have PicoShare up and running, you can start sharing your files with others in a decentralized and encrypted way.
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!
