LogPaste is a simple tool for sharing text files without the need for accounts or waiting periods. If you're a Windows 10 user and want to install LogPaste on your computer, follow the steps below:
Before you begin, make sure your computer meets the following requirements:
If you don't have Python or Pip installed, visit the Python website at https://www.python.org/downloads/ to get the latest version. Pip is included with Python 3.4 and later versions.
Open the Command Prompt on your Windows computer and navigate to the directory where you want to install LogPaste. Then, execute the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/mtlynch/logpaste.git
Navigate to the LogPaste folder in your Command Prompt, and execute the following command to install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
To start the LogPaste server, navigate to the LogPaste folder and execute the following command:
python main.py
This will start the server on your localhost, on port 8000. You can access the server in your browser by navigating to http://localhost:8000/
To test if LogPaste works correctly, create a new text file on your computer, copy its contents, and paste it into the LogPaste website. You should see a unique URL generated for the file. Copy this URL and open it in a new tab to check if the file was uploaded correctly.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed LogPaste on your Windows 10 computer.
