Lowdefy is an open-source app development framework that provides a low-code platform to build applications for web, desktop, and mobile. It is written in Node.js, runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and allows developers to create apps using a drag-and-drop interface, templates, and reusable components. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Lowdefy on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following software installed on your Arch Linux system:
Open your terminal and run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy.git
This will clone the Lowdefy repository to your local machine.
Navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command:
$ npm install
This will install all the dependencies required for Lowdefy to run.
To build Lowdefy, run the following command:
$ npm run build
This will create the necessary files to run Lowdefy.
To start Lowdefy, run the following command:
$ npm start
This will start the Lowdefy development server. You can access the Lowdefy platform by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
If you prefer to run Lowdefy inside a Docker container, you can build and run the Docker image.
To build the Docker image, run the following command:
$ docker build -t lowdefy .
This will build the Lowdefy Docker image with the tag "lowdefy".
To run Lowdefy inside the Docker container, run the following command:
$ docker run -p 3000:3000 lowdefy
This will start the Lowdefy development server inside the Docker container. You can access the Lowdefy platform by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
That's it! You have successfully installed Lowdefy on your Arch Linux system. You can now start building apps using the Lowdefy platform. Happy coding!
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!
