Installing Mojopaste on Arch Linux

Mojopaste is an open-source tool that allows you to share code snippets with other developers. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Mojopaste on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Update the Packages

Before we begin, we need to update the packages on our system. To do this, run the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

This will update all the packages on your system.

Check the Perl Version

Mojopaste is a Perl-based tool, so we need to ensure that we have Perl installed on our system. To check if Perl is installed, run the following command:

perl -v

If Perl is not installed, you can install it by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S perl

Install Git

We need Git to clone the Mojopaste repository. To install Git, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Install Mojopaste

Clone the Mojopaste Repository

To install Mojopaste, we need to clone the repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/kraih/mojo-paste.git

This will clone the repository to your current directory.

Install Dependencies

Mojopaste requires some Perl dependencies. To install them, we will use the cpanm tool. To install cpanm, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S cpanminus

Once cpanm is installed, navigate to the directory where you cloned the Mojopaste repository and run the following command:

cd mojo-paste
sudo cpanm --installdeps .

This will install all the required dependencies.

Start the Mojopaste Server

To start the Mojopaste server, navigate to the cloned repository directory and run the following command:

./mojo-paste daemon

This will start the Mojopaste server on port 3000.

Open the Mojopaste Dashboard

Now that your Mojopaste server is started, you can access the dashboard by opening your web browser and going to the following URL:

http://localhost:3000/

You should now have access to the Mojopaste dashboard and can start sharing your code snippets with other developers!

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Mojopaste on Arch Linux. We hope this tutorial was helpful and that you can now start sharing your code snippets with other developers using Mojopaste!
