Facette is a modern open-source web application that enables the creation and sharing of dashboards for visualizing data. The application supports various data sources and provides powerful data processing capabilities. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Facette on the latest version of Elementary OS.
First, we need to install some dependencies required by Facette. Open the terminal and run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git make gcc libc6-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libyajl-dev libsqlite3-dev
Facette is written in Go, so we need to install Golang on our system. Run the following command to download and install the latest version of Golang:
sudo apt-get install golang-go
Next, we need to download the latest version of Facette from its official website using the following command in the terminal:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/facette/facette.git
Now, we can proceed to build and install Facette. Navigate to the facette directory using the following command:
cd facette
Run the following commands to build and install Facette:
make
sudo make install
We can now start Facette using the following command:
facette
Facette will start running on http://localhost:12003 by default. You can access the Facette web interface from your browser by navigating to http://localhost:12003.
You have now successfully installed, built, and started Facette on your Elementary OS system. You can now proceed to configure and use Facette to create and share dashboards for visualizing data from different sources.
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!
