Raneto is a free, open-source, and powerful markdown-based knowledge base for your business tools and workflows. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Raneto on Arch Linux.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that your system meets the following prerequisites:
To avoid any issues during the installation, it is recommended to keep your system up-to-date. Open your terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
The above command will download and install all available updates for your system.
Raneto requires Node.js, NPM, and Redis to run on your system. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm redis
To install Raneto on your system, you can either use npm to install it globally or clone the repository and build the executable file. For this tutorial, we will use npm. Run the following command to install Raneto:
sudo npm install -g raneto
Raneto comes with a pre-configured template that you can use or customize to suit your needs. If you wish to use the default template, you can skip this step. Otherwise, you can create a configuration file for Raneto in your home directory by running this command:
echo '{"site_title":"My Wiki"}' > ~/.raneto/config.json
This command creates a new folder called .raneto and a configuration file named config.json inside your home directory.
You can customize this configuration file to your liking. For instance, you can change the site_title to your desired title.
To start Raneto, you need to start Redis first:
sudo systemctl start redis
Then, you can start Raneto by running this command:
sudo raneto start
This command will start Raneto on port 3000. You can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Raneto on Arch Linux. You can now start creating your knowledge base articles and customize the interface to your preferences.
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!
