Gigablast is an open-source search engine that allows users to index and search through large datasets. If you are using NixOS Latest and want to install Gigablast, you can follow the steps below.
Before installing Gigablast, you need to make sure that all the necessary dependencies are installed on your system. Open the terminal and enter the following command to install the required packages:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.curl nixos.ncurses nixos.gcc
To download Gigablast, navigate to the official website and click on the "Downloads" button. Select the appropriate version for your operating system and architecture, and download the file.
Once the file has finished downloading, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the file is saved. Use the following command to extract the contents of the file:
tar xvf gigablast-X.X.X-BETA.tar.gz
Note: Replace "X.X.X-BETA" with the actual version number of the file you downloaded.
After extracting the Gigablast files, navigate to the newly created directory and execute the following commands:
./make clean
./make
This will configure and compile Gigablast on your system. Depending on the speed of your computer, this process may take several minutes to complete.
To test if Gigablast is installed correctly, enter the following command in your terminal:
./search "your search query"
Replace "your search query" with a query you want to test. If the setup process was successful, the search engine should return results.
You have successfully installed Gigablast on NixOS Latest. Now you can start using the powerful search engine to index and search through large datasets.
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!
