Uploady is a web application designed for easy sharing of files. It is open-source and available on GitHub.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Uploady on Arch Linux.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to ensure our system is up to date. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update your system packages to the latest version.
Uploady is built on top of Node.js and uses Yarn as its package manager. To install them, run:
sudo pacman -S nodejs yarn
This will install Node.js and Yarn on your system.
Next, you need to clone the Uploady repository from GitHub. Open your terminal and run:
git clone https://github.com/farisc0de/Uploady.git
cd Uploady
This will clone the repository on your system and move you to the Uploady directory.
Uploady has several dependencies that you need to install before you can run it. To install them, run:
yarn install
This will install all the dependencies required by Uploady.
You need to configure Uploady by editing the .env file in the root of the directory:
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
This will create a new .env file with the example values. Edit the file to match your system configurations.
Finally, we can now run the Uploady application by running the following command:
yarn start
This will start the application on port 3000. You can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Uploady on Arch Linux.
