Minimalist-web-notepad is a simple open-source web-based text editor. Here's how to install it on Arch Linux.
First, we need to install Node.js and Git. Node.js is required to run the web app, while Git is needed to clone the repository.
To install both, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs git
Next, we'll clone the minimalist-web-notepad repository to our local machine. To do this, navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/pereorga/minimalist-web-notepad.git
Before we can run the app, we need to install its dependencies. Navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command:
npm install
Once the dependencies are installed, we can run the web app using the following command:
npm run start
This will start the app on port 8080. To access it, open a web browser and enter the following address:
http://localhost:8080/
That's it! You now have minimalist-web-notepad installed and running on your Arch Linux system. From here, you can customize the app to your liking and start jotting down notes or creating documents.
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!
