Erxes is an open-source marketing automation software that helps businesses manage their customer interactions across multiple channels. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Erxes on EndeavourOS Latest.
Firstly, ensure that your system has all necessary dependencies installed to run Erxes. Install the following dependencies using the terminal command:
sudo pacman -S git nodejs yarn mongodb
Navigate to the directory, where you want to install Erxes. In this tutorial, we will install it in /opt/erxes. You can change it to any other directory. Clone Erxes` GitHub repository by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo git clone https://github.com/erxes/erxes.git /opt/erxes
Once you have cloned the Erxes repository, navigate to the cloned directory and install the dependencies using the following command:
cd /opt/erxes/
sudo yarn install
Erxes uses MongoDB as its database. You need to set up a MongoDB database for Erxes. Start by enabling and starting the MongoDB service using the commands:
sudo systemctl enable mongodb.service
sudo systemctl start mongodb.service
Next, create a new database and add a user for Erxes. Log in to the MongoDB shell using the following command:
mongo
Create a new database named "erxes" by running the following command:
use erxes
Create a new user with "readWrite" permissions by running the following command:
db.createUser({
user: "erxes",
pwd: "<password>",
roles: [{ role: "readWrite", db: "erxes" }]
})
Replace <password> with your desired password.
Exit the MongoDB shell by running the following command:
exit
Next, copy the sample environment configuration file by running the command:
sudo cp .env.sample .env
Then, open the .env file using a text editor and set it up with appropriate values for the following variables:
# MongoDB Configuration
DB_URL=mongodb://erxes:<password>@localhost:27017/erxes
# API Configuration
APP_PORT=3000
APP_ENV=development
Replace <password> with the password you set up for the MongoDB user.
We are now ready to start the Erxes server. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo yarn dev
This command will start the server in development mode at port 3000, which is specified in the .env file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Erxes on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now access the Erxes dashboard by opening a web browser and visiting http://localhost:3000. We hope this tutorial has helped you.
