Trusted-CGI is a tool that provides a secure way to pass data between a web server and CGI scripts. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Trusted-CGI on POP! OS.
Before we start, make sure your system is up to date:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Trusted-CGI requires libjansson and libcurl libraries to be installed. We can install them using the following command:
sudo apt install libjansson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev -y
To download the latest version of Trusted-CGI from GitHub, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/reddec/trusted-cgi.git
Now navigate to the downloaded directory:
cd trusted-cgi
Compile and install Trusted-CGI using the following command:
make && sudo make install
To check if Trusted-CGI is installed properly, run the following command:
sudo trusted-cgi --help
This should display the help output of Trusted-CGI.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Trusted-CGI on POP! OS. You can now use Trusted-CGI to pass data between your web server and CGI scripts securely.
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!
