xBrowserSync is an open source tool that enables you to synchronize your bookmarks and open tabs across multiple browsers and devices. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of xBrowserSync on Ubuntu Server latest.
First, we need to install Node.js, as xBrowserSync is built on top of it. To install Node.js on Ubuntu Server, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs
Verify that Node.js is installed correctly by running the following command:
nodejs -v
You should see the version number of Node.js installed on your system.
Now, we can proceed with the installation of xBrowserSync. We will use the Node Package Manager (npm) to install xBrowserSync.
Run the following command to install xBrowserSync:
sudo npm install -g xbrowsersync
This will install xBrowserSync globally on your system.
After installing xBrowserSync, we need to configure it before we can use it.
Run the following command to start the xBrowserSync configuration wizard:
xbrowsersync register
This will guide you through the initial configuration process.
You will need to provide your email address and a password to create a new account, or sign in to an existing account.
Once you have completed the configuration process, you can start using xBrowserSync to synchronize your bookmarks and open tabs across multiple devices and browsers.
To start the xBrowserSync service, run the following command:
xbrowsersync daemon
This will start the xBrowserSync service in the background and enable it to synchronize your bookmarks and open tabs across your devices and browsers.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install xBrowserSync on Ubuntu Server. We have also shown you how to configure it and start the xBrowserSync service. Now you can start synchronizing your bookmarks and open tabs across multiple devices and browsers with ease.
