Expressa is one of the most popular Node.js frameworks for creating RESTful API. It is built on top of the Express framework and provides a simple way to create and manage APIs. Clear Linux Latest is a modern, lightweight and secure Linux distribution. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Expressa on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we get started with the installation process, make sure you have the following:
First, open the Terminal and clone the Expressa repository from Github. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the project and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/thomas4019/expressa.git
This will download the Expressa repository to your local system.
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:
cd expressa
npm install
This will install all the required dependencies for running Expressa.
Expressa uses MongoDB as its database management system. You need to have MongoDB installed and running on your system. If you don't have MongoDB installed, you can install it using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add mongodb
Once MongoDB is installed, run the following command to start the server:
sudo systemctl start mongodb
Make sure that Mongo is running before you start Expressa.
To start Expressa, run the following command in the project directory:
npm start
This will start the Expressa server. You should see the following output:
Expressa listening on port 3000
You can now access the Expressa API by navigating to http://localhost:3000/api
