How to Install Instiki on EndeavourOS Latest

Instiki is a lightweight wiki engine written in Ruby, and it allows you to create a handy and easily editable wiki that can be hosted on your own server. In this tutorial, we'll install Instiki on the latest version of EndeavourOS.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following things:

• A running instance of EndeavourOS
• A non-root user with sudo permissions
• Ruby version 2.5 or above installed on your system

Install Instiki

Here are the steps to install Instiki:

1. Open up your terminal using Ctrl + Alt + T or via the application launcher

2. Update your system by running the command sudo pacman -Syu

3. Install Git by running the command sudo pacman -S git

4. Clone the Instiki repository by running the command:

   git clone https://github.com/parasew/instiki.git

5. Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the Instiki directory by running:

   cd instiki

6. Install Bundler by running the command:

   gem install bundler

7. Install the required dependencies by running the command:

   bundle install --path vendor/bundle

8. After the dependencies are installed, create the database by running the command:

   bundle exec rake db:migrate

9. Finally, start the Instiki server by running the command:

   bundle exec rails server

   This will start the server, and the output should look something like this:

   => Booting Puma
   => Rails 6.1.3.1 application starting in development 
   => Run `bin/rails server --help` for more startup options
   Puma starting in single mode...
   * Puma version: 5.2.2 (ruby 2.7.2-p137) ("Fettisdagsbulle")
   *  Min threads: 5
   *  Max threads: 5
   *  Environment: development
   *          PID: 45174
   * Listening on http://127.0.0.1:3000, CTRL+C to stop
   

   Now, you can access Instiki by opening up your web browser and navigating to:

   http://127.0.0.1:3000

   You should see the Instiki homepage with instructions on how to get started.
