Budibase is an open-source low-code platform that helps developers build web applications quickly and efficiently. If you are using the latest version of Elementary OS and want to use Budibase, follow these steps:
Before installing Budibase, you need to install Node.js. To do this, open the Terminal by pressing the “Ctrl + Alt + T” keys together and type the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
This will install Node.js on your system.
Once Node.js is installed, you need to install npm (Node Package Manager) as well. To do this, type the following command in the Terminal:
sudo apt-get install npm
Now you are ready to install Budibase. To do this, follow these steps:
Download the latest version of Budibase from the official website (https://www.budibase.com).
Open the Terminal and navigate to the directory where you have downloaded Budibase.
cd /path/to/budibase
Next, type the following command to install the Budibase CLI:
npm i -g @budibase/budibase-cli
After installing the CLI, initialize the Budibase project by running the following command in the Terminal:
budibase init my-project-name
Replace my-project-name with the name of your project.
Once the initialization is complete, you can start Budibase by running the following command:
cd my-project-name
budibase start
This will start the Budibase server on your local machine.
Finally, open up your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 (or a port of your choosing). You should see the Budibase dashboard and can start building your web application.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Budibase on Elementary OS Latest.
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!
