How to install Plik on macOS

Plik is an open-source file-sharing system that allows you to securely and easily share large files online. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Plik on macOS 10.10 or higher.

Prerequisites

Before installing Plik, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

Homebrew: a package manager for macOS
Go: an open-source programming language

To install Homebrew, open Terminal and enter the following command:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

To install Go, open Terminal and enter the following command:

brew install go

Install Plik

Now that you have the prerequisites installed, follow these steps to install Plik:

Open Terminal and enter the following command to clone the Plik repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/root-gg/plik.git
```
Navigate to the plik directory:
```
cd plik
```
Build the Plik binary:
```
make build
```
Run the Plik server:
```
./bin/plikd
```
This will start the Plik server at http://localhost:8080/.
(Optional) To make Plik available on your local network, open another Terminal window and enter the following command:
```
ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | cut -d\  -f2
```
This will output your local IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.123). Open your web browser and type in http://<your-ip>:8080/ to access Plik from another computer on your local network.

That's it! You now have Plik installed and running on your macOS system. Happy file-sharing!
