BudgetZero is an open-source personal finance manager that can help you control your finances. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install BudgetZero on Fedora Server Latest step-by-step.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, update your system package lists and install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y git npm nodejs
Next, you need to clone the BudgetZero repository from GitHub. To do that, run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/budgetzero/budgetzero.git /opt/budgetzero
cd /opt/budgetzero
Now, we need to install the project's dependencies and build our application. We can do that by running the following commands:
sudo npm install
sudo npm run build
To configure BudgetZero, we need to make a copy of the default configuration file:
sudo cp server/.env.example server/.env
Then, we will edit the file to set the required configuration variables:
sudo nano server/.env
In the editor, update the following variables to match your environment:
DB_NAME=budgetzerodb
DB_USER=budgetzero
DB_PASS=password
Next, we need to create our database for BudgetZero to use. To do that, we will log in to our database server and create the database and user:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE budgetzerodb;
CREATE USER 'budgetzero'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL ON budgetzerodb.* TO 'budgetzero'@localhost;
Finally, we can start the BudgetZero server by running the following command:
sudo npm run start
After running that command, the server should start running on http://localhost:3000. You can access the server by visiting that URL on your web browser.
