Livebook is an interactive notebook for Elixir programming language. It allows you to write and run Elixir code in a web interface. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Livebook on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Livebook is written in Elixir, so we need to install Elixir first. Run the following command to install Elixir:
sudo pacman -S elixir
This will install Elixir and its dependent packages.
Livebook also requires Erlang, which is a programming language used to build distributed and fault-tolerant systems. Run the following command to install Erlang:
sudo pacman -S erlang
This will install Erlang and its dependent packages.
We can install Livebook by cloning its GitHub repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/livebook-dev/livebook.git
This will clone the repository to the current directory.
After cloning the repository, we need to build Livebook. Change into the livebook directory by running:
cd livebook
Then run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:
mix deps.get
After installing the dependencies, use the following command to build Livebook:
mix escript.build
This will build the Livebook executable.
Now that we have built Livebook, we can run it using the following command:
./livebook.sh
This will start the Livebook server and display the URL and token. Open the URL in a web browser to access the Livebook interface.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Livebook on Arch Linux. Now you can use Livebook to write and run Elixir code in a web interface.
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!
