Graph-vl is a tool developed by VerifID for visualizing blockchain data. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps required to install graph-vl on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we can install graph-vl, we'll need to make sure that we have the following prerequisites installed.
To install these dependencies, open up a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git nodejs npm
Once we have the prerequisites installed, we can proceed with installing graph-vl.
First, we'll need to clone the graph-vl repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/verifid/graph-vl.git
This will clone the repository into a new folder called graph-vl in your current working directory.
Next, we'll need to install the project's dependencies using npm. Navigate to the graph-vl directory by running:
cd graph-vl
Then, run the following command to install the dependencies:
npm install
This may take a few minutes, so grab a cup of coffee and relax!
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can start the server by running the following command:
npm run start
This will start the server on http://localhost:3000. You should see a message that says "Server running: http://localhost:3000".
Open up your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to access graph-vl. You should see the homepage of graph-vl displayed in your browser.
That's it! We've successfully installed graph-vl on Elementary OS Latest. From here, you can start using graph-vl to visualize blockchain data. If you have any issues, feel free to check the repository's issues page or the official documentation.
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!
