Installation

If you run into problems, you can view more detailed installation instructions here.

You'll also need a Terminal application on your local computer. If you're using Windows, you should use the Git Shell app as your terminal. It is installed with GitHub Desktop. In Mac and Linux you can use the app Terminal, which is already on your computer.

If you've never used the command line before, check out Command Line Bootcamp to get comfortable navigating your computer via the command line.

dat share

Behind the scenes dat created a new hidden folder called .dat in your test folder. The appearance of the .dat folder means that everything in this directory can now be versioned with Dat.

As long as the dat share process stays open and running the data will be available via the global Dat decentralized network to anyone who has that link. The link is secret and unguessable. Only people who you share the link with will be able to access your dat.

Downloading

-

First, copy the dat link from the source terminal. Windows users beware - please right-click to copy, as cntrl-C will quit dat and dat needs to keep running.

If you are doing this tutorial using a single computer, open up a second terminal window, we will refer to this second one as the destination terminal. The first one is the source terminal.

If you are doing this tutorial with a second computer, then use the second computer as the destination. Find a way to send them the dat link (email, text message).

On the destination terminal: Move to a directory where you'd like to add these files. To download the files from the source, type dat clone followed by the link dat://, and a folder name like try-dat.

The full command should look like this:

dat clone dat://replace-with-your-dat-link-here try-dat
 

The files will be downloaded to the destination, to the current working directory, into a folder called try-dat. Take a minute now to check that the files on your destination match the files from the source.

Lastly, on the source, type control-C to stop running dat. You should now be back to the command prompt on both terminals.
