Peergos is a decentralized, privacy-focused file storage and sharing platform that allows users to securely store, share and access files, and communicate with others without worrying about being tracked or having their data compromised. If you're new to Peergos or want to use it on your POP! OS Latest, here's a step-by-step installation guide to help you get started.
Before you start, ensure that:
Peergos requires Java to run on your computer. If you don't have Java installed, open the terminal and run the following command to install Java:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jre
You can download the Peergos client for your operating system from the official Peergos website at https://peergos.org/download. Choose the Linux option to download the Peergos client installer.
Once the Peergos client installer file has been downloaded, navigate to the directory where it is saved and run the following command in the terminal to start the installation:
chmod +x peergos-linux-setup-VERSION.sh
./peergos-linux-setup-VERSION.sh
Replace "VERSION" with the actual version of the Peergos installer file that you downloaded.
The installer will guide you through the installation process, and you'll need to follow the prompts to create a new Peergos account or log in to an existing account.
Once the installation is complete, open the Peergos client by searching for "Peergos" in the application menu or by running the following command in a terminal:
peergos
Log in to your Peergos account and start using the app to store, share and access your files, and communicate with others without worrying about your data being compromised.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Peergos on POP! OS Latest. By following the steps above, you should now have a running instance of Peergos on your computer and be able to start accessing the power of its decentralized, secure file storage and sharing capabilities. Happy Peergos-ing!
