ioBroker is an open-source automation system that allows users to integrate all their smart home devices together with one easy-to-use interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step through the process of installing ioBroker on your EndeavourOS latest.
Before we start the installation process, there are a few prerequisites that we need to fulfill:
The first step of any installation process is to update the system. To update EndeavourOS latest, open up a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
ioBroker has some dependencies that must be installed before the installation can proceed. Run the following command to download and install these dependencies:
sudo pacman -S build-essential python2 python3 nodejs npm git
Now that we have installed all the necessary dependencies, it's time to download and install ioBroker. Here are the steps to follow:
Open up the terminal and navigate to the home folder:
cd ~
Clone the ioBroker repository:
git clone https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.git
Navigate to the ioBroker folder:
cd ioBroker
Run the installation script:
sudo ./iobroker install
The installation process may take a few minutes to complete. Once it's done, ioBroker will be installed on your system.
Once the installation is complete, you can start ioBroker by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo iobroker start
This command will start the ioBroker service in the background. You can now access the ioBroker web interface by opening up a web browser and typing in the following URL:
http://localhost:8081
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ioBroker on your EndeavourOS latest. You can now start using ioBroker to manage all your smart home devices.
