How to Install MojoPaste on Elementary OS

MojoPaste is a simple command-line tool for pasting text snippets to a web server. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install MojoPaste on the latest version of Elementary OS.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you'll need to make sure that you have the following:

• A terminal application (such as Terminal or Pantheon Terminal)
• Perl installed on your system

Step 1: Install cpanm

MojoPaste is a Perl module, and we'll need to install it using cpanm. If you don't have cpanm installed on your system, you can install it using the following command:

sudo apt install cpanminus

Step 2: Install dependencies

MojoPaste has a few dependencies that need to be installed before we can install the module itself. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

sudo cpanm -n Mojolicious::Lite IO::Socket::SSL

Step 3: Install MojoPaste

Now that we have all the dependencies installed, we can go ahead and install MojoPaste itself. Run the following command to install the module:

sudo cpanm -n App::mojopaste

Step 4: Verify installation

To verify that MojoPaste has been installed correctly, run the following command:

mojopaste

If MojoPaste has been installed correctly, you should see the help message for the tool printed in your terminal.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed MojoPaste on Elementary OS! You can now use it to paste text snippets to a web server.
