Memos is an open-source, self-hosted note-taking app that allows users to create, store and organize notes. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Memos on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

To install Memos on Debian Latest, you need to have the following:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Memos is built using Node.js, which means we need to install Node.js and npm before we can install Memos. You can install them using the following command:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm

After installing Node.js and npm, verify the installation by checking their versions using the following commands:

Now we need to clone the Memos codebase from the Github repository. To do so, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos.git

Step 3: Install Dependencies for Memos

After cloning the Memos codebase, navigate into the cloned directory and install its dependencies using the following command:

cd memos 
npm install

Step 4: Configure Memos

After installing the dependencies, we need to configure Memos by creating a .env file. To do so, navigate to the Memos directory and run the following command:

cp env.dist .env

Edit the .env file as per your requirements. For example, you can set the database, port, and admin credentials.

nano .env

Step 5: Run Memos

Finally, we are ready to run Memos on our Debian server. To do so, run the following command from the Memos directory:

npm start

By default, Memos will run on port 3000. You can access the Memos app by opening your web browser and navigating to http://<YOUR-SERVER-IP>:3000/.
