How to Install Rallly on Arch Linux

Rallly is a free web-based scheduling and event planning tool that simplifies the process of organizing events and meetings with friends, family, and colleagues. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Rallly on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you start installing Rallly, make sure you have the following:

• A computer running Arch Linux.
• A web browser installed on your system.

Step 1: Install Node.js

Rallly is built using Node.js, so you need to make sure it is installed on your system. To install it, open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S nodejs

The above command will install both Node.js and npm, the package manager for Node.js.

Step 2: Install Git

Git is a version control system that is used to manage source code. Rallly's source code is hosted on GitHub, so you need to install Git to clone the repository. To install Git, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Step 3: Clone the Rallly Repository

Next, you need to clone the Rallly repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/lukeonuke/rallly.git

This will create a new directory called "rallly" and place all of the Rallly source code inside it.

Step 4: Install the Dependencies

Now that you have the Rallly source code on your system, you need to install its dependencies. To do this, navigate to the "rallly" directory and run the following command:

npm install

This command will install all the required dependencies for Rallly to function correctly.

Step 5: Start the Server

Once all the dependencies are installed, you can start the Rallly server. To do this, run the following command:

npm start

This will start the server and make Rallly accessible from your web browser at http://localhost:3000.

Step 6: Access Rallly in your Browser

Finally, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to access Rallly. You can now create an account, start scheduling events, and invite others to join.

Conclusion

That's it. You have successfully installed Rallly on Arch Linux. Now you can enjoy organizing events and meetings with ease using this free web-based scheduling tool.
