Installing Budibase on Arch Linux is a straightforward process. To get started, follow the steps below.
Budibase is built using Node.js, so you’ll need to have it installed on your system before you can proceed. You can install Node.js using the package manager of your choice, but for Arch Linux, use the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
Once Node.js is installed, verify that it was installed successfully by running the following command:
node -v
If the command returns the version number of Node.js that you installed, then Node.js was installed successfully.
NPM is the package manager for Node.js, and it’s used to manage the dependencies of Budibase. To install NPM on Arch Linux, use the following command:
sudo pacman -S npm
To install Budibase, use the following command:
npm install budibase-cli -g
The -g flag is used to install the package globally, so you can access the budibase command from anywhere on your system.
To verify that Budibase was installed successfully, run the following command:
budibase version
If Budibase was installed successfully, you should see the version number of the CLI tool displayed in your terminal.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed Budibase on your Arch Linux system. You can now use Budibase to build powerful web applications with ease.
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!
