How to Install Darkwire.io on Fedora Server Latest

Darkwire.io is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted messaging platform that allows users to have secure conversations. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Darkwire.io on a Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

• A fresh installation of Fedora Server
• SSH access with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands

Step 1: Install Node.js

Before we proceed with the installation of Darkwire.io, we need to install Node.js, a JavaScript runtime engine. We will use the NodeSource repository to install the latest version of Node.js.

1. Add the Node.js repository to your system:

   curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo bash -
   

2. Install Node.js:

   sudo dnf install -y nodejs
   

3. Verify that Node.js has been installed by checking its version:

   node -v
   

   Output:

   v16.13.1
   

Step 2: Clone the Darkwire.io Repository

Now, we can clone the Darkwire.io repository from GitHub to our server:

git clone https://github.com/darkwire/darkwire.io.git

Change the current working directory to the cloned repository:

cd darkwire.io

Step 3: Install Dependencies

From the darkwire.io directory, install the project dependencies with the following command:

npm install

Step 4: Configure the application

Copy the example configuration file:

cp config-example.json config.json

Edit config.json to add your own values for port, apiUrl, and clientUrl.

{
  "port": 3000,
  "apiUrl": "https://api.example.com",
  "clientUrl": "https://www.example.com"
}

Step 5: Start the Application

Finally, start the Darkwire.io server with:

npm start

After starting the server, you will see the following output in your terminal:

> darkwire.io@1.1.2 start
> node server.js

Listening on 0.0.0.0:3000...

That's it! Your Darkwire.io server is up and running on your Fedora Server.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Darkwire.io on your Fedora Server machine. You can now use this secure messaging platform for your private conversations.
