MojoPaste is a simple and easy-to-use pastebin application. It is built using the Mojolicious web framework and is available for installation on various platforms, including Windows 11.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install MojoPaste on your Windows 11 machine.
Before we proceed with the installation, we need to make sure that the following prerequisites are already installed on our system:
Open the command prompt by pressing the Windows key + R and typing in "cmd" in the Run dialog box.
To install MojoPaste, we need to install the App::mojopaste module from the CPAN.
Run the following command to install the module:
cpanm App::mojopaste
This command will download and install all the dependencies required by MojoPaste.
Once the installation is completed, we need to generate a configuration file for MojoPaste.
Run the following command to generate the configuration file:
mojopaste --genconfig
This command will generate a configuration file "mojopaste.conf" in your current directory.
Edit the configuration file to define your settings. You can change the "expose" parameter to "0" to prevent your paste from being listed on the front page. You can also set the "secret" parameter to a random string for added security.
To start the MojoPaste server, run the following command:
mojopaste daemon
This command will start the server and listening on port 3000. You can now access the MojoPaste application by going to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
To stop the server, press CTRL+C in the command prompt.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed MojoPaste on your Windows 11 machine. Enjoy pasting!
