2FAuth is a two-factor authentication tool that can be used to secure your online accounts. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install 2FAuth on your POP! OS Latest system.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
To install 2FAuth, we need to install some dependencies first. Open a terminal window and run the following command to update the system package list:
sudo apt update
Next, run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-venv
Next, we will clone the 2FAuth repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth.git
This will create a new directory called 2FAuth in your current working directory.
We will create a virtual environment for 2FAuth to ensure that its dependencies are isolated from other system packages. Run the following command to create a new virtual environment:
python3 -m venv 2FAuthEnv
This will create a new directory called 2FAuthEnv in your current working directory.
Next, we need to activate the virtual environment. Run the following command to activate the virtual environment:
source 2FAuthEnv/bin/activate
Now that we have activated the virtual environment, we can install 2FAuth. Run the following command to install 2FAuth:
pip3 install -r 2FAuth/requirements.txt
