This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of ChiefOnboarding on Debian Latest. ChiefOnboarding is a web-based onboarding and offboarding management tool that helps businesses automate their employee onboarding and offboarding workflows.
Before installing any new packages, it's always a good practice to update the package index on the Debian system. Run the following command in the terminal to update the package list:
sudo apt-get update
ChiefOnboarding is built using Node.js, so we need to install Node.js and NPM on the system. Run the following command in the terminal to install Node.js and NPM:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
The next step is to download the ChiefOnboarding package from the official website. You can download the package by going to the following link: https://chiefonboarding.com/download.
Alternatively, you can download the package using the following command in the terminal:
wget https://chiefonboarding.com/download -O chiefonboarding.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the ChiefOnboarding package to a suitable directory. Run the following command in the terminal to extract the package:
unzip chiefonboarding.zip -d chiefonboarding
Change the directory to the extracted ChiefOnboarding directory and install the dependencies using the following command:
cd chiefonboarding && npm install
The next step is to configure ChiefOnboarding. You can do this by creating a configuration file and setting the required parameters. Run the following command in the terminal to create the configuration file:
cp config.example.json config.json
Open the config.json file in your preferred text editor and update the following parameters:
host: The hostname of the server where ChiefOnboarding will be running.port: The port number on which ChiefOnboarding will be listening.db: The name of the MongoDB database that ChiefOnboarding will use.smtp: The SMTP server configuration to use for emails.The final step is to start ChiefOnboarding. Run the following command in the terminal inside the ChiefOnboarding directory:
node server.js
You will see output similar to the following:
$ node server.js
