This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Habitica on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before installing Habitica, make sure your EndeavourOS system is up-to-date. You can do this with the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Habitica is built on Node.js, so you will need to have Node.js installed on your system. You can install it using pacman:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
This will also install npm, the Node.js package manager.
Next, download the latest version of Habitica from the official website. You can do this using wget:
wget https://github.com/HabitRPG/habitica/archive/develop.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the zip file:
unzip develop.zip
You will now have a directory called habitica-develop.
Navigate to the habitica-develop directory and install the project's dependencies using npm:
cd habitica-develop
npm install
Habitica uses MongoDB as its database. You can install it using pacman:
sudo pacman -S mongodb
Create a new directory for the MongoDB data:
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
Make sure the MongoDB service is running:
sudo systemctl start mongodb
You can also enable MongoDB to start at boot:
sudo systemctl enable mongodb
Next, you need to seed the MongoDB database with initial data:
npm run seed
You can now start Habitica using the following command:
npm start
Habitica should now be accessible in your web browser at http://localhost:3000/.
You have successfully installed and set up Habitica on EndeavourOS! You can now create tasks, habits, and to-do lists, and enjoy the benefits of gamifying your productivity.
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!
