Para is a blockchain for decentralized applications. Here's how you can install Para on your Linux operating system.
Before we begin, we need to make sure that all required dependencies are installed. Type the following command to install essential dependencies:
sudo pacman -S git nodejs npm
Once the dependencies are installed, it's time to clone the repository. Open up the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/para-dev/para.git
This will clone the Para repository to your local machine.
Now that the repository is cloned, navigate to the cloned folder:
cd para
Next, install the required dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
This will install all necessary packages required by Para.
To start the blockchain, run the following command:
npm run start-dev
This will start the blockchain and the Para blockchain explorer.
You have now successfully installed Para on your Arch Linux machine.
Note: To shut down the blockchain, press Ctrl + C in the terminal.
Congratulations! You can now start building decentralized applications on the Para blockchain.
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!
