Tutorial: Install and Initialize IPFS
These Lessons are tested with go-ipfs version 0.5.0. Please update this file on github to reflect any other versions that have been tested.
- You should have some familiarity with the commandline
These Lessons will teach you how to
- Install IPFS
- Initialize an IPFS repository
- Locate where IPFS stores the contents of your local IPFS repository
- IPFS Repositories
Once you know how to add files to IPFS and retrieve them, you will be ready to share those files on the P2P network following the Tutorial: Going Online - Joining the Distributed Web
If you're wondering how to update those files after you've shared them, see the Tutorial: Publishing Changes on the Permanent Web
If you want to see how to access those files from the conventional HTTP web, go to the Tutorial: Interacting with the Classical (HTTP) Web
