Sup3rS3cretMes5age is an open-source self-destructing message web application built with Node.js and Algolia's search engine. This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up Sup3rS3cretMes5age on the Debian latest operating system.
Before installing Sup3rS3cretMes5age, it's recommended to update your server's package list to ensure you have the latest stable version of packages installed.
To update your system, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Sup3rS3cretMes5age is built using Node.js, so you need to install it first.
To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo apt install nodejs
After the installation completes, run the following command to verify that Node.js and npm are installed correctly:
node -v && npm -v
Now we will clone the Sup3rS3cretMes5age repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/algolia/sup3rS3cretMes5age.git
##Step 4: Install Dependencies Navigate to the cloned directory by running:
cd sup3rS3cretMes5age
Then install the dependencies using the npm package manager by running:
npm install
Now we need to configure Sup3rS3cretMes5age. Create a configuration file using the following command:
cp config.js.sample config.js
Then we modify the "config.js" file by running:
nano config.js
You should set your own values for ALGOLIA_APP_ID, ALGOLIA_API_KEY, ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME and ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY.
Once you have configured the application, you can start the Sup3rS3cretMes5age by running:
npm start
Note: If you need to run the application with a different port, you can modify the config.js file.
You can access the application through your web browser by visiting http://localhost:3000 (If your firewall is not blocking this port).
If you want to run the application in the background and keep it running even after the terminal window is closed, you can use packages like PM2.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Sup3rS3cretMes5age on Debian latest. You can now start using Sup3rS3cretMes5age to create and share self-destructing messages.
