Oddworks is an open-source platform for building video applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Oddworks on Elementary OS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, you must have:
Git is a version control system used to manage the source code of Oddworks.
To install Git, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
Next, you need to clone the Oddworks repository using Git. Open a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://gitlab.com/oddnetworks/oddworks/core.git
This command will download the Oddworks source code to your local machine.
To install the dependencies, navigate to the directory where you cloned the Oddworks repository and run the following command:
cd core
npm install
This command will install all the required dependencies for Oddworks to run.
Oddworks requires a configuration file that specifies various settings such as the database connection, API keys, and other environment-specific settings.
Copy the example configuration file and create a new one:
cp config.example.js config.js
Edit the config.js file to add your own configuration settings.
To start the application server, run the following command:
npm start
This command will start the Oddworks application on your local machine. You should see output that indicates the server is running.
By following these steps, you have successfully installed and configured Oddworks on Elementary OS Latest. You can now begin developing your video applications using Oddworks.
