This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Atomic Server on Elementary OS latest version. Atomic Server is a Rust implementation of the Atomic Data specification, which provides a way to describe data with a focus on interoperability.
You will need to have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
If you don't have Rust programming language installed on your system, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
This will install Rustup, the official installer for Rust programming language. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
You can install Git using the following command:
sudo apt install git
Once you have Rust and Git installed on your system, you can proceed to install Atomic Server by following these steps:
Open a terminal window.
Clone the Atomic Server repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/atomicdata-dev/atomic-data-rust.git
This will download the Atomic Server source code from GitHub to your local system.
Navigate to the root directory of the downloaded repository by running the following command:
cd atomic-data-rust
Build the application by running the following command:
cargo build --release
This will compile the source code and create a binary executable in the target/release directory.
Run the application by running the following command:
./target/release/atomic-server
This will start the Atomic Server on your system. By default, it will listen on port 3030.
Access the Atomic Server API in your web browser by navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:3030/
If you see a web page with the title "Atomic Server", then congratulations! You have successfully installed and started Atomic Server on your system.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Atomic Server on Elementary OS latest version. Now you can start using Atomic Data specification to model your data and achieve better interoperability.
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!
