KeystoneJS is a powerful web application development platform that uses Node.js and MongoDB to create custom applications quickly and efficiently. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install KeystoneJS on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing KeystoneJS, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
Clear Linux Latest.
Node.js v10 or later
MongoDB v4 or later
KeystoneJS uses Node.js, so we must ensure that Node.js is installed on your system.
To install Node.js, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic
Verify you have Node.js installed by checking the version using the following command:
nodejs --version
KeystoneJS also requires MongoDB to connect to databases.
To install MongoDB, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add mongo-client
Now that we have installed Node.js and MongoDB let's proceed to install KeystoneJS.
We will use the Node Package Manager (npm) to install KeystoneJS. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo npm install -g generator-keystone
The above command will install the KeystoneJS generator globally on your system.
Now that we have installed the KeystoneJS generator let's proceed to generate a KeystoneJS application.
We will create a new directory to hold our new KeystoneJS project. Using your terminal create the new directory and navigate to it, for example:
mkdir mykeystoneapp
cd mykeystoneapp
Next, we will use the KeystoneJS generator to generate a KeystoneJS application in the newly created directory with the following command:
yo keystone
The above command will prompt you with a series of questions to customize your KeystoneJS application. Answer them accordingly to set up your desired KeystoneJS project.
Now that we have generated a KeystoneJS application, let's proceed to run it.
Start your KeystoneJS application by running the following command
node keystone
KeystoneJS server should start running on http://localhost:3000. You can access it in your browser by entering http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed KeystoneJS on Clear Linux Latest, generated a KeystoneJS application, and started the server. You are now ready to begin developing your custom application using KeystoneJS!
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!
