Installing Inventaire on Arch Linux

Inventaire is a free and open-source platform that helps you to create an inventory of books, contributing to a collaborative and open knowledge network. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Inventaire on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that your Arch Linux is up-to-date by running the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 1: Install Node.js

Inventaire requires Node.js to be installed on your system. If Node.js is not installed on your system, you can install it by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S nodejs npm

Step 2: Clone the Inventaire Repository

Next, you need to clone the Inventaire repository using the git command. You can install git on your Arch Linux system by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Once git is installed, you can clone the Inventaire repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/inventaire/inventaire.git

Step 3: Install Dependencies

After cloning the Inventaire repository, navigate to the cloned directory using the cd command:

cd inventaire

Once you're inside the directory, install the project dependencies by running:

npm install

Step 4: Start the Application

After the installation of dependencies is complete, you can start the Inventaire application by running:

npm run dev

This will start the application in a development environment.

You can now access Inventaire by navigating to http://localhost:3000/ on your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install the Inventaire application on Arch Linux. With the application installed and running, you can create an inventory of books and contribute to a collaborative and open knowledge network.
