Convos is a real-time chat application that's designed to make communication simple, secure, and fun. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps involved in installing Convos on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you can proceed with the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
Convos runs on top of Mojolicious, which is a web application framework for Perl. Therefore, before we can install Convos, we need to have Perl and some of its dependencies installed on our system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add perl-basic
This will install Perl and its basic dependencies on your Clear Linux system.
After installing Perl, we need to install Mojolicious, which is a prerequisite for running Convos. Run the following command to install Mojolicious:
sudo cpan Mojolicious
This will install Mojolicious and all its dependencies on your system.
Now that we have all the required dependencies, it's time to install Convos itself. Follow the below steps:
Download the latest stable release of Convos from the official website https://convos.chat/
Extract the downloaded file to a directory of your choice using the following command:
tar -xf convos-x.y.z.tar.gz
Replace 'x.y.z' with the correct version number downloaded
Navigate to the extracted directory using the following command:
cd convos-x.y.z
Replace 'x.y.z' with the correct version number downloaded
Run the following command to install Convos:
sudo ./vendor/bin/carton install
Wait for the installation process to complete. This may take a few minutes, depending on your system specs and the speed of your internet connection.
Once the installation process is complete, you can start Convos using the following command:
./carton exec script/convosdaemon
This command starts the Convos daemon process. By default, Convos runs on port 8080. To access it, open your web browser and type the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/
