QuickShare is a tool that makes file sharing easier and more secure. It allows you to easily and securely share files with others without the need for email attachments or file transfer services.
This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing QuickShare on Ubuntu Server Latest using the Terminal.
Before you start, you will need the following:
The first step is to install the dependencies required for QuickShare to work. Open the Terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This command will update the package repository on your machine.
Next, install the required dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install curl git nodejs npm
This command will install curl, git, Node.js and npm.
From the Terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to install QuickShare.
cd /path/to/directory
Clone the QuickShare repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/ihexxa/quickshare.git
Navigate to the QuickShare directory:
cd quickshare
Install the required dependencies:
npm install
To configure QuickShare, copy the .env.example file to .env:
cp .env.example .env
Edit the .env file to add your own variables.
For example, to set the port number and secret key:
PORT=1234
SECRET_KEY=my_secret_key
Do not use the default secret key in production as it is not secure.
To start QuickShare, run the following command:
npm start
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:PORT, where PORT is the port number you set in the .env file.
You should now see the QuickShare home page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed QuickShare on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now use QuickShare to securely share files with others.
