I use the go version[1] implementation, for a bit easier installation. [1]: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-w

  The go version has a really cool feature: wormhole-william send --qr <path/to/file> This prints the password as a QR code. There's also an android version of wormhole-william which can process the QR codes.

  I feel like I'm slowly becoming a Nix shill, but... Nix is a good alternative as well. Install Nix in one command: sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon Then run Magic Wormhole in one command, without even having to install it: nix-shell -p magic-wormhole --run 'wormhole send myfile'

    I've been trying out Nix lately and did something similar to get a croc binary. My system package manager didn't have croc and also didn't have the Go version required to compile croc, but Nix did have the latest Go. Ran this: nix-shell -p go --run "go install github.com/schollz/croc/v9@latest" and got it compiled. In retrospect, I should have just used the croc package in Nix, but the simplicity of this approach is a vast improvement over the alternative of getting Go myself and cluttering up my system with random build tools for one-off compilations.
