In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Nefarious on Void Linux.
Nefarious is a lightweight and easy-to-use torrent client that is designed to provide you with a simple and user-friendly interface. It is an open-source project, and you can find its source code on GitHub.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
First, we need to update the package repository to ensure that we have the latest version of the software packages.
To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo xbps-install -S
Nefarious has a few dependencies that we need to install before we can compile and install the software.
To install the necessary dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo xbps-install -y libtorrent-rasterbar-devel boost-devel qt5-devel
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can download and compile Nefarious.
First, we need to clone the Nefarious repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/lardbit/nefarious.git
Next, navigate to the directory where the repository was cloned:
cd nefarious
Now we can use the qmake tool to generate the Makefile:
qmake nefarious.pro
Finally, we can compile Nefarious using the Makefile:
make
After compiling, we are ready to install Nefarious.
To install Nefarious, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo make install
Now that Nefarious is installed, we can launch it by simply typing the following command:
nefarious
And that's it! You now have Nefarious installed on your Void Linux system, and you can start using it to download your favorite torrent files.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
