Pasty is a simple and lightweight pastebin-like web application that allows users to share text online. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps to install Pasty on Windows 10.
Before we get started, you'll need to have the following prerequisites installed on your Windows 10 machine:
Open Git Bash or Command Prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to clone Pasty. For example:
cd C:\Pasty
Use Git to clone Pasty from Github:
git clone https://github.com/lus/pasty.git
Navigate into the pasty directory:
cd pasty
Install the required Python packages using pip:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a new database by running the following command:
python manage.py migrate
(Optional) If you want to create a superuser account (to have administrative privileges), run the following command:
python manage.py createsuperuser
Start the Pasty server by running the following command:
python manage.py runserver
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8000/ to access the Pasty homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pasty on your Windows 10 machine. You can now start sharing text online with your friends and colleagues!
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!
