How to Install QuickShare on OpenSUSE

QuickShare is a simple file-sharing utility that allows users to quickly and easily share files with others. To install QuickShare on OpenSUSE, just follow the steps outlined below.

Step 1: Install Git

Before you can install QuickShare, you need to make sure Git is installed on your system. To install Git, open a terminal window and run the following command:

Step 2: Clone the QuickShare Repository

Once Git is installed, you can clone the QuickShare repository to your system. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/ihexxa/quickshare.git

This will create a new directory called 'quickshare' in your current working directory.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

QuickShare requires a few dependencies to function properly. To install these dependencies on OpenSUSE, run the following command:

sudo zypper install golang libappindicator3-dev libgtk-3-dev

Step 4: Build and Install QuickShare

Now that the dependencies are installed, you can build and install QuickShare on your system. To do this, change into the 'quickshare' directory that was created when you cloned the repository:

cd quickshare

Next, build the QuickShare application by running the following command:

make

Once the build is complete, you can install QuickShare on your system by running the following command:

sudo make install

Step 5: Launch QuickShare

Finally, you can launch QuickShare by running the following command in your terminal:

quickshare

This will launch the QuickShare GUI, where you can select files to share and generate a sharing link.

Congratulations! QuickShare is now installed and ready to use on your OpenSUSE system.
