How to Install Planka on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you on installing Planka on your Fedora Server. Planka is a task management software that is mostly used in team collaboration. It's an open-source application, free to use, and available under the MIT license.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation of Planka, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

• Fedora Server 34 or latest version
• A non-root user with sudo privileges
• Node.js >= 12.x.x

Step 1: Install Node.js

First, we need to install Node.js runtime on our Fedora server. We will use the dnf package manager for installing Node.js.

Run the following command to install Node.js:

sudo dnf install nodejs

Verify the installation of Node.js by running the following command:

node -v

The output should display the version of Node.js installed on your system.

Step 2: Clone the Planka Repository

Now, let's clone the Planka repository from GitHub using the git command. Run the following command to clone the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/plankanban/planka.git

Navigate to the cloned repository directory using the following command:

cd planka

Step 3: Install Required Dependencies

Before we can run the Planka application, we need to install the required dependencies. We can use the npm package manager to install the package dependencies.

Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

npm install

Step 4: Configure Planka

Planka requires a configuration file before it can start running. The configuration file is located in the config directory.

Create a copy of the config/config.example.js file and rename it to config/config.js.

cp config/config.example.js config/config.js

Open the config/config.js file in your preferred text editor and update the configuration settings to match your server settings.

Step 5: Start Planka

Finally, we can start Planka by running the following command:

npm start

Once the application starts running, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. Planka should now be running and can be used for team collaboration.
