MiAOU is a chat server that provides real-time messaging, user profiles, and channels. It is ideal for collaborating on work projects or communicating with friends and family. Here's how to install it on Debian Latest.
Before installing any software, it's important to update the system. Type the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
This will ensure that you have the latest software packages installed on your system.
MiAOU requires Node.js to run, so we need to install it. Type the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
This will install Node.js and its package manager, npm.
Now that we have Node.js installed, let's install MiAOU. First, navigate to the directory where you want to install it. Then, type the following command in the terminal:
sudo npm install -g miaou
This will install MiAOU globally on your system.
Now that we have MiAOU installed, we can run it. Type the following command in the terminal:
miaou
This will start the MiAOU server.
MiAOU is now running on your local machine. You can access it by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:8080/
. You'll be prompted to create an account and then you can start using the chat server.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed MiAOU on Debian Latest.
