This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Soketi, a peer-to-peer file-sharing app, on your macOS machine.
Before you start, make sure your system meets the minimum requirements:
Now, let's get started.
Go to the Soketi website and click on the "Download for macOS" button. This will start the download of the Soketi installer.
Once the Soketi installer has finished downloading, open it by double-clicking on the downloaded file.
When the installer opens, it will prompt you to drag the Soketi App to the Applications Folder. Simply drag and drop the Soketi App icon onto the Applications Folder shortcut.
The Soketi App is now being installed. Wait for the progress bar to complete.
Once Soketi has finished installing, click on the "Launchpad" icon on your macOS Dock. Locate the Soketi App icon and click on it to launch the app.
When you first launch Soketi, your Mac's firewall may prompt you to allow Soketi access to your network. Click "Allow" to proceed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and launched Soketi on your macOS machine. You can now begin sharing files with other Soketi users.
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!
