How to Install Fava on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Fava is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) for the command-line double-entry accounting software Beancount. Here is a step-by-step tutorial that will guide you through the installation of Fava on Fedora CoreOS latest.

Prerequisites

• A Fedora CoreOS server with a user account with Sudo privileges
• A basic understanding of the command line interface (CLI)

Step 1: Install Beancount

Fava is designed to work alongside Beancount. Therefore, we need to install Beancount first.

1. Open a terminal window and update your system. Run the command:

   sudo dnf update -y
   

2. Install Beancount by running the command:

   sudo dnf install -y beancount
   

   This command will install Beancount and all the necessary dependencies.

Step 2: Install Fava

Now that we have installed Beancount, we can proceed to install Fava.

1. Open a terminal window and install the EPEL repository by running the command:

   sudo dnf install -y epel-release
   

2. Install Fava by running the command:

   sudo dnf install -y fava
   

   This command installs Fava from the Fedora repository.

Step 3: Start Fava

Now that Fava is installed, we can start the Fava service.

1. Open a terminal window and start the Fava service by running the command:

   fava
   

2. The Fava service will be started and should output a URL on your terminal. Open a browser window and access the URL. You should be able to access the Fava web interface.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Fava on Fedora CoreOS latest. You can now use Fava to view and manage your Beancount accounting data.
