How to Install Chartbrew on Clear Linux Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Chartbrew on Clear Linux Latest. Chartbrew is a data visualization tool that allows you to create and manage charts, dashboards, and reports for your data sources.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation process, make sure you have the following:

• Clear Linux Latest installed and running
• Root access or a privileged account with sudo permissions

Step 1: Install Node.js and npm

Chartbrew is built on Node.js, a JavaScript runtime environment, and npm, a package manager for Node.js modules. Therefore, you need to install Node.js and npm on your Clear Linux machine.

1. Open the terminal and update the system:

   sudo swupd update
   

2. Install the required packages for Node.js:

   sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic
   

3. Verify that Node.js and npm have been installed successfully:

   node -v
   npm -v
   

   You should see the versions of the installed Node.js and npm.

Step 2: Install MongoDB

Chartbrew uses MongoDB, a NoSQL database, to store and manage data. Therefore, you need to install MongoDB on your Clear Linux machine.

1. Open the terminal and add the MongoDB repo key to the system:

   sudo rpm --import https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc
   

2. Add the MongoDB repo definition to the system:

   echo -e "[mongodb-org-4.4]\nname=MongoDB Repository\nbaseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2/mongodb-org/4.4/x86_64/\ngpgcheck=1\nenabled=1\ngpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.4.repo
   

3. Install MongoDB:

   sudo dnf install mongodb-org
   

4. Start the MongoDB service:

   sudo systemctl start mongod
   

5. Verify that MongoDB is running and enabled:

   sudo systemctl status mongod
   

   You should see that the MongoDB service is active and running.

Step 3: Download and install Chartbrew

1. Open the terminal and create a new folder named "chartbrew" in the home directory:

   mkdir ~/chartbrew
   

2. Change into the new folder:

   cd ~/chartbrew
   

3. Download Chartbrew from the official website:

   wget https://github.com/razvanilin/chartbrew/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
   

4. Extract the downloaded ZIP file:

   unzip main.zip
   

5. Change into the extracted folder:

   cd chartbrew-main
   

6. Install the required dependencies:

   npm install
   

7. Copy the example config file:

   cp example.config.js config.js
   

8. Edit the config file and set the MongoDB connection string:

   nano config.js
   

   Look for the line that starts with MONGODB_URI= and replace the value with the following:

   MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/chartbrew
   

   Save and exit the file.

Step 4: Start Chartbrew

1. Start the Chartbrew server:

   npm run dev
   

   This will start the Chartbrew server on port 3000.

2. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000. You should see the Chartbrew login page.

3. Register a new user account and log in. You can now start creating charts, dashboards, and reports for your data sources.
