Rustypaste is a simple command-line pastebin application created in Rust programming language. It allows users to upload and share code snippets and texts with others. This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install Rustypaste on your Windows 11 machine.
Before we begin, please make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:
Rust programming language and its package manager, Cargo. You can download and install Rust and Cargo from the official Rust website: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
Git command-line tool. You can download and install Git from the official Git website: https://git-scm.com/download/win
Open the command prompt by pressing Windows key + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
Navigate to the directory where you want to install Rustypaste. You can change the directory by typing cd <directory> command. For example, if you want to install Rustypaste in the Downloads folder, type cd Downloads.
Clone the Rustypaste project from its GitHub repository using the Git command:
git clone https://github.com/orhun/rustypaste.git
Change the current directory to the cloned Rustypaste folder:
cd rustypaste
Build the Rustypaste project using Cargo:
cargo build --release
This command will download the required dependencies and build the Rustypaste binary file.
After the build process is complete, the Rustypaste executable file can be found at the following location:
target/release/rustypaste.exe
You can copy this file to any location you like, but it is recommended to keep it in the Rustypaste folder to avoid any confusion.
To use Rustypaste, open the command prompt and navigate to the Rustypaste folder. Then, type the following command:
./target/release/rustypaste.exe
This will start Rustypaste and show you the available commands. From here, you can upload and share your code snippets and texts using the command-line interface.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Rustypaste on your Windows 11 machine. If you have any issues during the installation process, please refer to the official Rustypaste documentation or seek help from the Rust community.
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!
