This tutorial will guide you on how to install Bitpoll on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before installing Bitpoll, make sure that your system is up-to-date and that you have the required packages installed. Open the terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm postgresql
Next, clone the Bitpoll repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/fsinfuhh/Bitpoll.git
This will create a directory named "Bitpoll" in your home directory.
In order for Bitpoll to work, you need to create a PostgreSQL database. First, start the PostgreSQL service:
sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
Then create the database user and database:
sudo -u postgres createuser -P bitpoll
sudo -u postgres createdb bitpoll --owner bitpoll
Enter a password for the "bitpoll" user when prompted.
Next, you need to configure Bitpoll. Navigate to the "Bitpoll" directory and copy the example configuration file:
cd Bitpoll
cp config.yml.example config.yml
Edit the configuration file using your preferred text editor, e.g. nano:
nano config.yml
Adjust the settings based on your preferences. Make sure to set the "database" section to match the PostgreSQL database you created in Step 3.
Once you have configured Bitpoll, you can install the required packages:
npm install
This may take a while depending on your internet connection speed.
Finally, start Bitpoll with the following command:
npm start
This will start the Bitpoll server on port 3000.
You have successfully installed and configured Bitpoll on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use Bitpoll to create and manage polls. Enjoy!
