• This is a simple React App using which you can upload any file to IPFS and it will generate an IPFS hash and a link which can be then shared with people or used however you want.
• Since, Infura discontinued its free IPFS service you will need an API key to use it.

For WindowsOS use some linux based terminal emulator like WSL or GitBash

Required:

• Node v17
• Yarn
• Git

1. Clone the repo and install node_modules

git clone https://github.com/codeTIT4N/IPFS-upload.git
cd IPFS-upload
yarn

2. Rename the .env.example file to .env and set the secret variables accordingly.

You can get these by signing up for the infura IPFS service. It requires a credit card but they won't charge you until you cross the free 5GB limit.

3. Run the application:

yarn start
