Indieauth is a service that allows you to use your own domain name to sign in to other websites, eliminating the need to create and remember multiple usernames and passwords. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of installing Indieauth on macOS.
Open Terminal on your macOS device.
Install Homebrew if you haven't already by copying and pasting the following command into your Terminal and hitting Enter:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Once Homebrew is installed, we can use it to install the Indieauth CLI tool. In Terminal, type the following command and hit Enter:
brew install indieauth-cli
The installation process should start. When prompted, enter your macOS account password and wait for the installation to complete.
After the installation is complete, verify that Indieauth has been installed by running the following command in Terminal:
indieauth
This should display the Indieauth version number and a list of commands.
Set up your Indieauth account by following the instructions on the Indieauth.com website. Once you have set up your account, you can use it to sign in to any website that supports Indieauth.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Indieauth on your macOS device. You can now use it to sign in to any website that supports Indieauth, simplifying your online experience and eliminating the need for multiple usernames and passwords.
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!
