Wordle is a popular word game that challenges players to guess a secret word by inputting words that match its letters. It's an addictive game that's available online for free.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Wordle on Arch Linux.
Open the terminal on your Arch Linux system. You can do this by pressing CTRL+ALT+T or by searching for "terminal" in the Application Launcher.
Git is a free and open-source version control system that's used to manage software development projects. Wordle is hosted on GitHub, so you'll need to have Git installed on your system to download the source code.
To install Git, type the following command in your terminal and press Enter:
sudo pacman -S git
To download the Wordle source code, you'll need to clone its repository from GitHub. To do this, type the following command in your terminal and press Enter:
git clone https://github.com/reactle/wordle.git
This will create a new directory called wordle in your current working directory, which contains the Wordle source code.
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that's used to run JavaScript on the server-side. Node.js comes with a package manager called NPM, which is used to manage Node.js packages.
To install Node.js and NPM, type the following command in your terminal and press Enter:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
Before you can run Wordle, you'll need to install its dependencies. To do this, navigate to the wordle directory by typing the following command and pressing Enter:
cd wordle
Once you're in the wordle directory, type the following command and press Enter to install Wordle's dependencies:
npm install
To start Wordle, type the following command in your terminal and press Enter:
npm start
This will start the Wordle server, which you can access by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
And that's it! You've successfully installed Wordle on your Arch Linux system. Have fun playing!
