Hiawatha is a lightweight, secure and easy-to-use web server software, that you can use to host your website or web applications. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Hiawatha on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
As always, we start by updating our system. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
With the system up to date, we can now install Hiawatha. Run the following command to install it:
sudo pacman -S hiawatha
By default, Hiawatha is configured to run on port 80. If you want to change the port, you can do so by editing the Hiawatha configuration file located at /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf.
To edit the file, run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf
Find the line that specifies the port number and edit it to the desired value. For example, to run Hiawatha on port 8080, change the following line:
Binding {
Port = 80
}
To:
Binding {
Port = 8080
}
Save the file and exit the editor.
Now that the configuration is done, it's time to start Hiawatha. Run the following command to start it:
sudo systemctl start hiawatha
To make Hiawatha start automatically on system boot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable hiawatha
At this point, Hiawatha should be up and running. To verify the installation, open your web browser and type the following URL:
http://localhost
If Hiawatha is running correctly, you should see the default web page.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Hiawatha on EndeavourOS Latest. Now that Hiawatha is installed and running, you can use it to host your website or web applications. Happy web serving!
