This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Duplicati on your macOS device. Duplicati is a free and open-source backup software that securely stores your data in the cloud or on your local device.
Before you begin, please ensure that your macOS device is connected to the internet, and you have administrative privileges to install software.
Homebrew is a package manager that simplifies the installation of software on macOS. You can install Homebrew by opening the Terminal app, and pasting the following command:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Once Homebrew is installed, you can install Duplicati by opening the Terminal app and pasting the following command:
brew cask install duplicati
This will download and install the latest version of Duplicati on your macOS device.
After installing Duplicati, you can launch it by opening the Applications folder, and double-clicking on the Duplicati icon. Alternatively, you can launch it from the Terminal app by typing the following command:
open /Applications/Duplicati.app
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Duplicati on your macOS device. You can now use it to backup your valuable data to the cloud or on your local device. If you have any questions or issues, refer to the Duplicati documentation.
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!
