This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Trusted-CGI on NixOS Latest, using the source code available on GitHub.
Before you begin, please ensure that you have the following:
Trusted-CGI must be downloaded from its source code repository on GitHub, so we need to install Git
to access it.
sudo nix-channel --update
Git
package. You can do this by running:sudo nix-env -i git
git --version
If git
is successfully installed, you should see output displaying the version number, such as git version 2.36.1
.
Now that Git
is installed, we can download the Trusted-CGI source code by cloning its repository.
trusted-cgi
in your home directory, run:cd ~
mkdir trusted-cgi
cd trusted-cgi
git clone https://github.com/reddec/trusted-cgi.git
After cloning the repository, we need to build and install Trusted-CGI.
trusted-cgi
directory:cd trusted-cgi
nix-build
/nix/store/xnmryz7xz0n8l1smg6xhz0n146s7n2k8-trusted-cgi-1.0.0
This indicates that the installation was successful and the build output can be found in the /nix/store
directory.
Now that Trusted-CGI is installed, we can verify that it is working properly by running a simple script.
examples
directory inside the trusted-cgi
directory:cd trusted-cgi/examples
./server.sh
In a web browser, navigate to http://localhost:8080/hello.sh
.
If everything is working properly, you should see the output Hello World!
displayed in your browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Trusted-CGI on NixOS Latest, and are now ready to use it to deploy secure web applications.
