Tiledesk is an open-source chatbot development platform that allows you to create and manage chatbots for various messaging channels. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Tiledesk on Arch Linux.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that your Arch Linux system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
You will also need to have Node.js installed on your system. You can check the version of Node.js installed on your system by running the following command:
node -v
If Node.js is not installed on your Arch Linux system, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
To install Tiledesk on your Arch Linux system, follow the steps below:
Open your terminal and run the following command to install Tiledesk:
npm install -g tiledesk
Once the installation is complete, run the following command to initialize Tiledesk:
tiledesk init
This command will create a new directory named 'mybot' in your current directory. Navigate to this directory by running the following command:
cd mybot
Next, run the following command to start Tiledesk:
tiledesk start
This command will launch the Tiledesk server on your Arch Linux system. You can verify that Tiledesk is running by visiting the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost:8080
You should see the Tiledesk login screen.
To create a new bot, click the "New Bot" button and follow the prompts. Once you have created a bot, you can start adding users, messages, and other bot functionality.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Tiledesk on your Arch Linux system!
Note: You can configure the Tiledesk server by editing the config.json file located in the mybot directory. This file contains various settings for the Tiledesk server, such as the port number, database settings, and more.
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!
