Sure, here's a tutorial on how to install Rallly on Alpine Linux using the latest version:

Pre-Requisites

  1. A machine running Alpine Linux, with root or sudo access.

Step 1: Update your package lists

Before we install Rallly, we'll want to make sure that our system's package lists are up to date. Run the following command using root or sudo access:

apk update

This command will update your list of available packages.

Step 2: Install Node.js and NPM

Rallly requires Node.js and NPM to be installed on the system. To install these dependencies, run the following command:

apk add nodejs npm

This command will install the latest versions of Node.js and NPM available in the Alpine repositories.

Step 3: Download and extract Rallly

Next, we'll need to download and extract the Rallly source code. We can do this using the wget command:

wget https://github.com/lukevella/Rallly/archive/master.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz

This command will download the latest version of Rallly and extract it to a directory named Rallly-master/.

Step 4: Install Rallly dependencies

Now that we have downloaded Rallly, we'll need to install its dependencies. Navigate to the Rallly directory that was just extracted:

cd Rallly-master

From here, we can use NPM to install the required packages:

npm install

This command may take a few minutes to execute, as it will download and install all of the necessary dependencies.

Step 5: Start the Rallly server

Once the dependencies are installed, we're ready to start the Rallly server. Run the following command:

npm start

This will start the server and make it available on http://localhost:3000 by default.

Step 6: Access Rallly in the Browser

Open up a web browser on your local machine and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should see the Rallly web interface. Congratulations! You've successfully installed and started Rallly on Alpine Linux.
