In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Turtl on Arch Linux. Turtl is an open-source note-taking application that allows you to store and organize your notes securely.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
To install Turtl on Arch Linux, follow the steps given below:
Turtl is not available in the official repositories of Arch Linux. Therefore, we need to install Git to clone the source code of Turtl from the GitHub repository.
To install Git, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S git
After installing Git, navigate to the directory where you want to download the Turtl source code and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/turtl/javascript
Turtl is written in Node.js, which is a JavaScript runtime environment. Therefore, we need to install Node.js to run Turtl.
To install Node.js on Arch Linux, execute the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
Now that we have installed Node.js, we need to install the dependencies required by Turtl.
Navigate to the directory where you cloned the Turtl repository and execute the following command:
npm install
This command will install all the dependencies required by Turtl.
To start Turtl, execute the following command in the terminal:
npm start
Turtl should now be running on your system. You can access it by opening your web browser and going to the following address:
http://localhost:8181
In this tutorial, we explained how to install Turtl on Arch Linux. Turtl is a great alternative to proprietary note-taking applications and provides an open-source, secure way to store and organize your notes.
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!
