This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of MiniNote, a note-taking application, on Debian Latest. The installation procedure involves four main steps.
To run MiniNote on Debian Latest, you need to install several packages to ensure that all dependencies are met. You can install these packages with the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy electron
This command installs Node Package Manager (npm) and Node.js legacy package, which together provide a stable environment for running MiniNote. We also install Electron, which is required to run the MiniNote desktop application.
Next, download the MiniNote source code from the GitHub repository to your local machine:
$ git clone https://github.com/muety/mininote.git
Once the download completes, navigate to the mininote directory:
$ cd mininote
After downloading the source code, you need to install the dependencies and build the application. To install the dependencies, navigate to the mininote directory and run the below command:
$ npm install
This command installs all the dependencies required by MiniNote to run successfully. After installing the dependencies, run the following command to build the application:
$ npm run build-linux
This command builds a Linux executable for the MiniNote application. Once completed successfully, you will find the built binary in the dist directory.
Finally, to install MiniNote, you need to copy the binary to the appropriate location on your system.
$ sudo cp -r dist/linux-unpacked /opt/mininote
This command copies the linux-unpacked binary to the /opt/mininote directory. We use /opt/mininote as the installation directory, as it is a standard location for installing third-party applications on Debian.
By following the above steps, you have successfully installed MiniNote on Debian Latest. You can now launch the application from the application menu, or by running the command mininote in the terminal. Enjoy taking notes with MiniNote!
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!
