Dim is a full-stack JavaScript platform for building modern web applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Dim on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Follow these steps to install Dim on Arch Linux:
Step 1: Install Node.js and NPM
Before we can install Dim, we need to install Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager). Open your terminal and run the following commands to install Node.js and NPM:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
sudo pacman -S npm
Step 2: Install Yarn
Next, we need to install Yarn, which is a package manager for Node.js. Run the following command in your terminal to install Yarn:
sudo npm install -g yarn
Step 3: Clone the Dim repository
Now, we need to clone the Dim repository to our local machine. Run the following command in your terminal to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Dusk-Labs/dim.git
Step 4: Install dependencies
Navigate to the cloned repository and run the following command to install the dependencies:
cd dim
yarn install
Step 5: Build and run the application
Finally, we can build and run the application. Run the following command to build the application:
yarn build
Once the build process is complete, run the following command to start the application:
yarn start
You should now be able to access the Dim web application by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:3000/.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Dim on Arch Linux. Now, you can start building modern web applications using Dim. Happy coding!
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!
