Before you start installing TiddlyWiki, you need to make sure that:
Before you install any software on your machine, you should first update the system. This ensures that all the necessary packages and software are up-to-date and that any known security vulnerabilities are patched.
To update your system, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This will update all the repositories and packages on your system to their latest versions.
TiddlyWiki is built using Node.js, so you need to have Node.js installed on your machine to run TiddlyWiki.
To install Node.js on your machine, run the following command:
sudo apt install nodejs -y
This will install the latest version of Node.js on your machine.
You can download TiddlyWiki from the official website (https://tiddlywiki.com/). Once you have downloaded the file, extract it to a location on your machine.
sudo wget https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/releases/download/v5.1.23/tiddlywiki-linux-x64-5.1.23.zip
sudo unzip tiddlywiki-linux-x64-5.1.23.zip
sudo mv tiddlywiki-linux-x64-5.1.23 /opt
