Tutorial: How to Install Zusam on Arch Linux

Zusam is an open source project management tool that supports agile methodologies. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Zusam on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before you can install Zusam, you need to install some dependencies first. Open up a terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S nodejs npm git

This will install Node.js, npm and git if they are not already installed on your system.

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Next, you need to clone the Zusam repository from GitHub. Use the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/zusam/zusam.git

This will create a directory named zusam in your current working directory.

Step 3: Install Zusam

Navigate to the zusam directory that was just created and run the following command:

npm install

This will install all the required packages that Zusam needs to run.

Step 4: Configure Zusam

Zusam needs to be configured before it can be run. First, copy the config-example.js file to config.js:

cp config-example.js config.js

Next, open up the config.js file using a text editor and modify it to suit your needs. At a minimum, you will need to set the mongoUrl parameter to the URL of your MongoDB database.

Step 5: Run Zusam

To start Zusam, run the following command:

npm start

This will start Zusam on port 3000 by default. You can access it by opening up a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000/.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Zusam on Arch Linux. With Zusam, you have a powerful project management tool at your disposal that can help you manage your projects using agile methodologies. You can now start creating projects and managing tasks, issues and more.
