Fider is an open-source platform to collect and organize feedback from users, built with Node.js and React. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Fider on Arch Linux.
First, update your Arch Linux system and install the required dependencies using the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S git postgresql yarn
Create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Fider using the following commands:
sudo -iu postgres
createuser fideruser
createdb fiderdb -O fideruser
Next, clone the Fider repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/getfider/fider.git
Navigate to the Fider directory and install Fider's dependencies using the following command:
cd fider
yarn install
Copy the default database configuration file and update it with the PostgreSQL database details:
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Update the following variables in the .env file:
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_USER=fideruser
DB_DATABASE=fiderdb
DB_PASSWORD=YOUR_DB_PASSWORD
Save and exit the .env file.
Run the following command to create and migrate the database tables:
NODE_ENV=production yarn migrate
Finally, start the Fider application using the following command:
NODE_ENV=production yarn start
You have successfully installed Fider on Arch Linux. You can now access Fider from your web browser by navigating to http://your-server:3000.
Please note that this tutorial only covers the basic installation of Fider. For more advanced configuration options, please refer to the official Fider documentation.
