Kutt is a modern URL shortener that allows you to generate short URLs and track how many times they are clicked. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kutt on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Before installing any new software, it's always a good idea to update the system to the latest packages.
sudo swupd update
This will update all installed packages to the latest versions.
Kutt requires Node.js and MySQL to run. You can install both using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic mysql
This command will install Node.js and MySQL along with their dependencies.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can clone the Kutt repository from Github:
git clone https://github.com/abhijithvijayan/kutt.git
Navigate to the cloned directory:
cd kutt
Install the required packages using npm:
npm install
Copy the configuration file:
cp config.example.js config.js
Edit the config.js file and set up your MySQL database configuration:
module.exports = {
// Other settings
database: {
host: 'localhost',
user: 'root',
password: '',
database: 'kutt'
}
}
Initialize the MySQL database:
npm run migrate
Finally, start the Kutt server:
npm start
Kutt will now be available at http://localhost:3000.
If you're running a firewall, you may need to allow traffic to port 3000:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=3000/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
