How to share folders using NFS?

Question

In the above link it is shown that I need to do

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap

However a software called portmap doesnot exist in ubuntu 12.04

How exactly do I configure NFS in ubuntu 12.04?

I recently used this on both 12.04 and 12.10 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo — 23 93 26 35 19 57 3 89, Jul 21 '12 at 13:10

That article is over 6 years old and shouldn't be followed. You can set up NFS sharing by following the documentation here:

did it using Ubuntu 12.04 documentation. Thanks for the help. NFS is really the fastest way to transfer data. – Chirag Jul 22 '12 at 12:04
