Step 1: Update the System

Before installing Listmonk on our system, it is recommended to update the system's package repositories by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo dnf install -y golang nodejs

Step 3: Create PostgreSQL Database and User

Once the required packages are installed, we need to create a new PostgreSQL database and user. Run the following commands in your terminal:

sudo postgresql-setup --initdb --unit postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo su postgres
psql
CREATE DATABASE listmonk;
CREATE USER listmonk WITH PASSWORD 'yourpassword';
