How to Install Kanbana on Arch Linux

Kanbana is an open-source Kanban board built on top of Next.js and Firebase. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps to install Kanbana on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following installed on your Arch Linux machine:

• Node.js 14.x
• Git

Installation Steps

1. Clone the Kanbana repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/SrGMC/kanbana.git

2. Navigate to the cloned directory:

cd kanbana

3. Install the required dependencies using npm:

npm install

4. Create a .env.local file to store your Firebase configuration. You will need to create a Firebase project and obtain your Firebase configuration from the Firebase console. The .env.local file should contain the following configuration variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=<your-auth-domain>
NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL=<your-database-url>
NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=<your-project-id>
NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=<your-storage-bucket>
NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=<your-messaging-sender-id>
NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_APP_ID=<your-app-id>

Note: Make sure to replace the values with your own Firebase configuration. Also, make sure to keep this file private and not share it with anyone.

5. Start the Kanbana development server using npm:

npm run dev

6. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should see the Kanbana application running.

Conclusion

Congratulation! You have successfully installed and set up Kanbana on your Arch Linux machine. You can now use Kanbana to manage your projects and tasks.
