Erxes is an open-source platform for customer engagement and sales, and it can be installed on a variety of operating systems, including Debian. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process on Debian.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have:
Firstly, you should log in to your server, open the terminal, and update the system by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update -y
This will ensure that your server has the latest updates and security patches.
Erxes requires MongoDB, so the next step is to install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get install mongodb -y
Once the installation is complete, start the MongoDB service and enable it to start automatically after a server restart by running:
sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb
Erxes is built on top of NodeJS, so you'll need to install it. Run the following command to add the NodeJS repository:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
Once the repository is added, install NodeJS by running:
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Download Erxes from the official website by running the following command in the terminal:
wget https://github.com/erxes/erxes/releases/download/v0.23.1/erxes-v0.23.1.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded files by running the following command:
tar -xzf erxes-v0.23.1.tar.gz
Change to the newly created directory by running:
cd erxes-v0.23.1
Next, install the dependencies by running:
npm install
Wait for the installation to finish, and then start the Erxes server by running:
npm start
Erxes should now be running, and you can access it by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:3000.
In this tutorial, we guided you through the process of setting up Erxes on a Debian latest server. With Erxes up and running, you can now engage with your customers and manage your sales pipeline from a single platform.
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!
