How to install Klaus on macOS

Klaus is a web-based git repository viewer written in Python. In this tutorial, we will look at how to install Klaus on macOS.

Prerequisites

• A macOS machine
• Python 3.x installed on your system

Step-by-step guide

1. Open the terminal on your macOS machine.

2. Install Klaus using the pip package manager. Run the following command:

pip3 install klaus

3. Once the installation is complete, navigate to the directory where your git repositories are stored using the cd command. For example, if your repositories are stored in the /Users/username/Documents/Git/ directory, run the following command:

cd /Users/username/Documents/Git/

4. Next, launch Klaus by running the following command:

klaus --port=8000 --hostname=0.0.0.0

This will start Klaus and it will be accessible on your local machine at http://localhost:8000.

5. To access Klaus from another device on the same network, replace localhost with the IP address of your macOS machine in the browser URL. For example, if your macOS machine has the IP address 192.168.1.100, you can access Klaus by entering http://192.168.1.100:8000 in your browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Klaus on your macOS machine.

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!
