Lowdefy is a rapid application development platform that allows developers to build web applications with speed and ease. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Lowdefy on EndeavourOS, the latest version of the Arch-based Linux distribution.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:
Lowdefy requires Node.js and NPM to be installed on your system. To install them, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
This will install Node.js and NPM from the Arch Linux repository.
To avoid permission issues while installing packages, we will configure NPM to install global packages in your home directory instead of the system directory.
To do this, create a directory to store global packages in your home directory and update the NPM configuration by running the following commands:
mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
Next, add the following lines to your shell profile file (~/.bashrc if you are using Bash):
# NPM config
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
Finally, apply the changes to your current session by running source ~/.bashrc.
Now that we have Node.js, NPM, and the necessary configuration in place, let's install Lowdefy.
Open a terminal and run the following command:
npm install -g lowdefy
This will install Lowdefy globally on your system.
To verify the installation, run the following command in your terminal:
lowdefy --version
If installed successfully, this will output the current version of Lowdefy installed on your system.
Now that Lowdefy is installed, you can create a new project by running the following command:
lowdefy create my-project
This will create a new Lowdefy project in the my-project directory.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Lowdefy on EndeavourOS. With this powerful tool, you can rapidly develop web applications with ease. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please refer to the official Lowdefy documentation or seek further assistance from the Lowdefy community.
