Payload CMS is an open-source, Node.js-based content management system that provides a simple and flexible way to manage content for your website or application. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Payload CMS on EndeavourOS latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
To begin, we need to download and install Payload CMS. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo npm install -g payloadcms
This command will install Payload CMS globally on your system.
Next, we need to create a new Payload CMS project. Navigate to the directory where you want to create the project and run the following command:
payloadcms new myproject
Replace myproject with the name of your project.
This command will create a new Payload CMS project in a directory named myproject and install all the necessary dependencies.
Before we can start using Payload CMS, we need to configure the database. Payload CMS supports multiple databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. In this tutorial, we will use PostgreSQL.
Create a PostgreSQL database for your project and update the config/database.js file with the following configuration:
module.exports = {
development: {
dialect: 'postgres',
host: 'localhost',
database: 'mydatabase',
username: 'myusername',
password: 'mypassword'
},
production: {
// production configuration
}
};
Replace mydatabase, myusername, and mypassword with the values of your PostgreSQL database.
Next, we need to run the migration to create the necessary tables in the database.
Run the following command:
cd myproject
payloadcms migrate
This command will create the necessary tables in your PostgreSQL database.
Finally, we can start the server and start using Payload CMS.
Run the following command:
payloadcms start
This command will start the server at http://localhost:3000.
You can now open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to start using Payload CMS.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Payload CMS on EndeavourOS latest. We have also shown you how to create a new project, configure the database, run the migration, and start the server. We hope that this tutorial has been helpful to you.

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!
