FHEM is a popular home automation software that allows you to control various devices and services in your home. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing FHEM on Arch Linux.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the required packages for FHEM. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S perl-dbd-sqlite perl-net-ssleay perl-io-socket-ssl perl-json perl-json-xs perl-device-serialport perl-tk
This command installs the necessary packages for FHEM to work properly.
Next, download the latest version of FHEM from the official website:
wget https://fhem.de/fhem-6.0.tar.gz
This command downloads the FHEM archive to your current directory.
Once the download is complete, extract the FHEM archive using the following command:
tar xzf fhem-6.0.tar.gz
This command creates a new directory named fhem-6.0 in your current directory.
To install FHEM, navigate to the fhem-6.0 directory and run the following command:
./fhem.pl
This command starts the FHEM installation process. You'll be prompted to answer a few questions during the installation process.
Press Enter to continue with the default settings.
After the installation is complete, FHEM will be started automatically.
Once FHEM is installed and running, you can access the FHEM web interface by opening your web browser and visiting http://localhost:8083 or the IP address of your computer followed by port 8083.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed FHEM on Arch Linux. You can now start configuring and controlling your home automation devices using this powerful software.
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!
