How to Install Sharry on Manjaro

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing the Sharry web application on Manjaro. Sharry is a file sharing application that allows users to securely share files through a web interface.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, you will need the following:

• A Manjaro installation with root access
• Java 11 or higher installed
• Git installed

Step 1: Clone the Sharry Repository

The first step in installing Sharry is to clone the repository from GitHub. To do this, open the terminal and enter:

git clone https://github.com/eikek/sharry.git

This will create a new directory called "sharry" in your current working directory.

Step 2: Build the Sharry Package

Navigate to the directory where you cloned the Sharry repository:

cd sharry

Next, build the Sharry package using the Gradle build tool:

./gradlew build

This will build the Sharry package and create a ZIP file named "sharry-X.X.X.zip" (where X.X.X is the version number).

Step 3: Extract the Sharry Package

Extract the contents of the ZIP file using the following command:

unzip sharry-X.X.X.zip

This will create a new directory called "sharry-X.X.X", which contains the Sharry application files.

Step 4: Start the Sharry Application

To start the Sharry application, navigate to the "sharry-X.X.X" directory:

cd sharry-X.X.X

And then run the following command:

./bin/sharry

This will start the Sharry application and display output in the terminal. You can now access the web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to:

http://localhost:8080

Note: If you want to start the Sharry application in the background, use the following command instead:

./bin/sharry start

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and started the Sharry web application on Manjaro. You can now share files securely using the web interface. If you want to learn more about configuring Sharry, please refer to the official documentation at https://sharry.app/docs.
