How to Install DOCAT on Fedora Server

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DOCAT on Fedora Server.

DOCAT is a command-line tool designed to help you securely share your terminal sessions over the internet. It can be useful when you want to collaborate with other developers or when you need to troubleshoot a problem remotely.

Prerequisites

Before installing DOCAT, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your machine:

• Fedora Server latest version
• Git
• Rust

If you don't have these dependencies installed, run the following commands:

sudo dnf install git
sudo dnf install rust

Step 1 - Clone the DOCAT repository

First, you need to clone the DOCAT repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/docat-org/docat.git

This will create a new directory called docat in your current directory which contains the DOCAT source code.

Step 2 - Build DOCAT

Go to the DOCAT directory by running the command:

cd docat

Then, build the DOCAT binary by running the following command:

cargo build --release

This will create a new binary file called docat in the target/release directory.

Step 3 - Install DOCAT

Copy the docat binary file to the /usr/local/bin directory with the following command:

sudo cp target/release/docat /usr/local/bin/

This command will copy the docat binary file to the /usr/local/bin directory, which is in the system path. As a result, you can run DOCAT from any directory on the system.

Step 4 - Verify Installation

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

docat --version

This command should output the version of DOCAT installed on your system.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed DOCAT on your Fedora Server machine. Now you can use DOCAT to share your terminal sessions securely over the internet.
