This tutorial will guide you through the steps to successfully install Mailchimp Open Commerce on Alpine Linux.
Before you start the installation process, you should have the following:
The first step is to install the required dependencies. Execute the following command in your terminal:
apk add git nodejs npm yarn
This will install Git, Node.js, npm, and Yarn.
Next, clone the Mailchimp Open Commerce repository from GitHub to your server:
git clone https://github.com/mailchimp/open-commerce.git
This will create a new directory named "open-commerce" containing all the necessary files.
Enter the "open-commerce" directory and install the required dependencies using Yarn:
cd open-commerce
yarn install
This will download and install all the dependencies needed by Mailchimp Open Commerce.
To connect Mailchimp Open Commerce to your Mailchimp account, you need to configure your Mailchimp API key. Create a new file named ".env" in the root directory of the repository and add the following line:
REACT_APP_MAILCHIMP_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
Replace "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" with your actual Mailchimp API key.
The final step is to build the Mailchimp Open Commerce app. Execute the following command:
yarn build
This will generate a new folder called "build" containing the compiled app.
You can now run the app using the following command:
yarn start
This will launch the Mailchimp Open Commerce app on your server. Open your browser and navigate to "http://your_server_ip:3000" to access the app.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mailchimp Open Commerce on Alpine Linux. You can now start exploring and customizing the app as per your needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
