How to install Stash on Arch Linux

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Stash, a privacy-focused online bookmark manager, on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have:

Installing Dependencies

Before installing Stash, you need to make sure that certain dependencies are installed on your system. The following command will install the required dependencies:

sudo pacman -Syu git nodejs npm yarn

Clone Stash from GitHub

Next, you need to clone the Stash repository from GitHub to your local machine. We will use git to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/filosottile/stash.git

Install Node.js dependencies

Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the project directory and install the necessary Node.js dependencies using npm:

cd stash
npm install

Build the front-end assets

Next, you need to build the front-end assets for the application. Run the following command in the project directory:

yarn build

Configure the application

Before starting the application, you need to configure it. Copy the example configuration file to .env:

cp .env.example .env

Then, open the .env file in your favorite text editor and modify the values as needed.

Start the application

Finally, you can start the Stash application by running the following command:

npm run start

This command will start the application in production mode. Once the application is up and running, you should be able to access it at http://localhost:3000.
