How to Install Golinks on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Golinks from golinks">https://git.mills.io/prologic/golinks on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure your system has the following requirements:

• Root access or a user with sudo privileges.
• Git installed on your system.
• Go programming language installed on your system.

Step 1: Clone Golinks Repository

Firstly, we will need to clone the Golinks repository using the following command:

git clone https://git.mills.io/prologic/golinks.git

This command will create a new directory called golinks containing the source code of the application.

Step 2: Build Golinks

Next, we need to build the application using the following command inside the golinks directory:

cd golinks
go build

This command will compile the source code and produce a binary file called golinks.

Step 3: Install Golinks

Now that we have built the application, we need to install it by copying the binary file to the /usr/local/bin directory using the following command:

sudo cp golinks /usr/local/bin/

This command will copy the golinks binary to the /usr/local/bin directory, which is included in the system PATH.

Step 4: Test Golinks

Finally, we can test if the installation was successful by running the following command:

golinks

If the installation was successful, the command will display the version of the application, and a list of available commands.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Golinks on Void Linux! You can now start using the application to create and manage your own golinks.
