Our Shopping List is an open-source web application designed to help people create and share shopping lists. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Our Shopping List on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we start, ensure that you have the following:
Begin by navigating to the Our Shopping List GitHub repository at https://github.com/nanawel/our-shopping-list using your browser. Once you are there, click on the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP" to download the application as a ZIP archive.
Alternatively, open a terminal window and execute the following command to download the application's source code:

Our Shopping List requires a few dependencies to work correctly, such as Node.js and MySQL. Open a terminal window and execute the following commands to install these dependencies:
sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add mysql
Our Shopping List uses a MySQL database to store its data. To set up the database, open a terminal window and execute the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mysql.service
sudo mysql -u root -p
MySQL will prompt you for the MySQL root password. Enter it and press Enter to continue. Once you are in the MySQL shell, execute the following commands to create a new database and add a user:
CREATE DATABASE our-shopping-list;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON our-shopping-list.* TO 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Make sure to replace 'user' and 'password' with your desired database username and password.
Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Our Shopping List source code. Open the .env.example file using a text editor and update the following variables with your MySQL credentials:
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=our-shopping-list
DB_USERNAME=user
DB_PASSWORD=password
APP_ENV=production
APP_KEY=
Save the file as .env.
To install the application, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Our Shopping List source code. Once there, execute the following commands:
npm install
npm run build
This will install the required Node.js packages and build the frontend assets.
To run the application, execute the following command in the terminal:
npm start
This will start the application on port 3000. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to access it.
