Prologic Pastebin is a simple and lightweight pastebin application developed by James Mills, designed for usage on the command line. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Prologic Pastebin on the most recent version of the POP!_OS operating system.
Before proceeding with the installation of Prologic Pastebin, it’s important to ensure that your system is up to date. Open your Terminal application and execute the following command:

Prologic Pastebin requires the following dependencies to be installed:
You can install all of them at once using the following command:
sudo apt install python3 git pipenv
The next step is to clone the Prologic Pastebin source code from the official Git repository. Navigate to your preferred working directory in your terminal and execute the following command:
git clone https://git.mills.io/prologic/pastebin.git

The pipenv install command will install all required packages and dependencies. The pipenv shell command will activate the virtual environment for the pastebin project.
Prologic Pastebin utilizes a configuration file named config.toml to specify the pastebin configuration. A sample configuration file is included in the source code, which can be used as a starting point in creating your own. Navigate to the pastebin directory, and then execute the following command:
cp config.toml.sample config.toml
This command will make a copy of the sample configuration file named config.toml.sample and name it config.toml.
The final step is to start the Prologic Pastebin service. Navigate to the pastebin directory, and then execute the following command:
python -m pastebin
