How to Install Uploady on Void Linux

Introduction

Uploady is a command-line utility for uploading files to various online storage services. It supports services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Amazon S3. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Uploady on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• Void Linux

Step 1 - Install Python

Uploady is written in Python, so you’ll need to install Python first. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo xbps-install python3

This command will install Python 3 on your system.

Step 2 - Install Pip

Pip is a package manager for Python, which makes it easy to install Python packages. To install pip, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo xbps-install py-pip

This command will install pip on your system.

Step 3 - Install Uploady

Now that you have Python and pip installed, you can use pip to install Uploady. To do so, run the following command:

sudo pip install uploady

This will install Uploady and all its dependencies on your system.

Step 4 - Configure Uploady

Once Uploady is installed, you can use it to upload files to your online storage services. Before you can do that, however, you need to configure Uploady with your account credentials.

To do so, create a new file called .uploady in your home directory. Open the file in your preferred text editor and add the following lines:

[google]
client_id = YOUR_CLIENT_ID
client_secret = YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
gc_credentials = /path/to/gdrive_credentials.json

[dropbox]
access_token = YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

[aws]
profile_name = YOUR_PROFILE_NAME

Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID, YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET, YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN, and YOUR_PROFILE_NAME with your own account credentials. If you’re only using one of the services, you can omit the configuration for the other services.

Save the file and close the editor.

Step 5 - Using Uploady

You’re now ready to use Uploady to upload your files. Here’s an example command to upload a file to Google Drive:

uploady google /path/to/file.pdf

This command will upload the file file.pdf to your Google Drive.

You can also upload multiple files at once:

uploady google /path/to/file1.pdf /path/to/file2.pdf /path/to/file3.pdf

This command will upload three files to your Google Drive.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed Uploady on Void Linux and have learned how to use it to upload files to various online storage services. You can now use Uploady to easily upload and manage your files online.
