qpixel is a web-based pixel art editor that runs entirely in your browser. It can be installed on Alpine Linux Latest following these steps:
Before we begin, let's update our system to ensure we have the latest packages:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
qpixel requires Node.js and npm to run. We'll install these dependencies using the following command:
sudo apk add nodejs npm
We can now clone the qpixel repository from GitHub and install its dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/codidact/qpixel.git
cd qpixel
npm install
To run qpixel, we simply need to start the server:
npm start
This will print a message similar to the following:
> qpixel@1.0.0 start /home/user/qpixel
> node server.js
Server listening on http://localhost:8080
Now we can access qpixel in our web browser at http://localhost:8080.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed qpixel on Alpine Linux Latest. Now you can create stunning pixel art from your web browser.
