Thingspeak is a free web-based platform for building Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It allows you to collect, store, and analyze data from connected devices using the internet. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Thingspeak on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Thingspeak requires some dependencies to be installed before we proceed to install it. Open a terminal and run the following command to update your system:

sudo swupd bundle-add git
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic
