Anchr is a versatile, easy-to-use and fast bookmark manager. It allows users to save, organize and access their bookmarks from anywhere in the world. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Anchr on Pop!_OS, the popular Linux distribution.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
To install Anchr on Pop!_OS, we need to install some dependencies first. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This will update the package repository on your machine. Next, install the required dependencies by running:
sudo apt-get install git nodejs npm
This will install Git for version control, as well as Node.js and NPM for running JavaScript packages.
Next, clone the Anchr repository to your machine with Git by entering the following command:
git clone https://github.com/anchorhost/anchr.git
This will create a new directory called anchr in your current working directory.
Navigate to the anchr directory by running:
cd anchr
Next, run the following command to install Anchr:
sudo npm install -g
This will install the Anchr package globally on your machine.
Now that Anchr is installed, let's start the server. Run the following command:
sudo anchr start
This will start the Anchr server and you should see a message that says "Anchr is running at http://localhost:7070".
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:7070 to access Anchr. You can now start adding and organizing your bookmarks!
That's it! You now have Anchr installed on Pop!_OS and can start using it to manage your bookmarks. Remember to stop the Anchr server when you are done by running the following command:
sudo anchr stop
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!
