ZincSearch is a privacy-focused search engine that allows you to search the web without being tracked. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ZincSearch on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Open your web browser and go to https://zincsearch.com.
Click on the Install Extension button.
Select the browser you are using from the drop-down menu and click on the Download button.
Once the download is complete, open your file manager and navigate to the downloaded file.
Extract the downloaded file to a directory of your choice.
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you extracted the file.
Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/zincsearch /usr/bin/
This command creates a symbolic link between the ZincSearch binary and /usr/bin, which is a directory where the system binaries are located.
Verify that ZincSearch is installed correctly by running the following command in the terminal:
zincsearch
If ZincSearch is installed correctly, you should see the following output:
Usage:

You can now use ZincSearch by running the zincsearch command followed by your search query in the terminal.
