Installing
This document describes how to install the dsfx server on your machine. The dsfx server is a decentralized file exchange server that allows you to share files with other users in a secure and private way. The server is designed to be easy to install and configure, and it can be run on a variety of platforms. The server is written in Go, and it uses the Go toolchain for building and installing. The server is designed to be run as a standalone application, and it does not require any external dependencies.
Setup
Due to the maturity of the project, we haven't yet created a release strategy. We have, however, fully embraced the go ecosystem - so you can use the go toolchain to install the project from source. This is the recommended way to install the project, as it will always give you the latest version of the code.
Dependencies
In many cases, these tools are available in your system package manager. Here are a few commands for various operating systems (not comprehensive):
- Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install git golang - Fedora:
sudo dnf install git golang - Arch:
sudo pacman -S git go - macOS:
brew install git go
If the above commands don't work for you, please refer to the official documentation for your operating system.
Installation
Now that you have the go toolchain set up with access to our repository, you can simply install the
project by using the go install command.
go install numenor-labs.us/dsfx/dsfx/cmd/dsfx@main
Assuming that you have the GOPATH environment variable set up correctly, you will now be able to
run the dsfx command from the command line. If you are not able to, then you must configure your
GOPATH environment variable.
