In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of installing Thredded on Clear Linux Latest. Thredded is a free and open-source forum software built with Rails. It is lightweight, highly customizable, scalable, and easy to set up.
Before we start, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
Thredded is built with Rails, so we need to install Rails on our system. To do this, follow the steps below:
Open the Terminal on your Clear Linux system.
Run the command below to update the package manager:
sudo swupd update
Next, run the command below to install Rails:
sudo gem install rails
Verify that Rails is installed correctly by running the following command:
rails -v
If Rails is installed correctly, you will see the version number.
Now that we have Rails installed, we can download and install Thredded. To install Thredded, follow the steps below:
Open the Terminal on your Clear Linux system.
Run the command below to clone the Thredded repository:
git clone https://github.com/thredded/thredded.git
Navigate to the Thredded directory:
cd thredded
Run the following command to install the dependencies:
bundle install
Next, run the command below to create the database:
rails db:create
Then, migrate the database:
rails db:migrate
Finally, start the web server:

This will start the web server, and you can access Thredded by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Thredded on Clear Linux Latest. You can now customize the software to suit your needs and start building your forum. Enjoy!
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!
