How to Install Strapi on Fedora Server Latest

Strapi is an open-source content management system that is built on Node.js. It helps developers to build APIs that can be consumed by web or mobile applications. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Strapi on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Strapi CLI

The Strapi CLI is a command-line interface tool that allows you to create, manage, and deploy your Strapi projects. To install it, open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo npm install -g strapi

This will install the Strapi CLI globally on your system.

Step 2: Create a New Strapi Project

Once the Strapi CLI is installed, you can create a new Strapi project using the strapi new command. Run the following command to create a new Strapi project:

strapi new my-project

Replace my-project with your project name.

You will be prompted to select your database type, choose the one you have installed.

strapi new

Once you select the database type, Strapi will create a new project in the my-project directory.

Step 3: Start Strapi Server

To start the Strapi server, navigate to the project directory and run the following command:

cd my-project
strapi start

This will start the Strapi server on port 1337.

strapi start

You can now access the Strapi server by navigating to http://localhost:1337 on your web browser.

Step 4: Configure Strapi

By default, the Strapi server is configured to use an SQLite database. However, you can configure it to use a PostgreSQL or MySQL database by updating the database configuration in the ./config/database.js file.

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  defaultConnection: 'default',
  connections: {
    default: {
      connector: 'bookshelf',
      settings: {
        client: 'postgres',
        host: env('DATABASE_HOST', 'localhost'),
        port: env.int('DATABASE_PORT', 5432),
        database: env('DATABASE_NAME', 'strapi'),
        username: env('DATABASE_USERNAME', 'postgres'),
        password: env('DATABASE_PASSWORD', 'postgres'),
        schema: env('DATABASE_SCHEMA', 'public'),
        ssl: env.bool('DATABASE_SSL', false),
      },
      options: {},
    },
  },
});

Update the configuration with your database details.
