Calypso is a lightweight, secure, and fast web server that runs on Linux operating systems. It is designed to handle simple HTTP requests and can be used as a single-page application server for building web applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps for installing Calypso on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
Before installing any software, it is essential to update your system. Run the following commands to update all packages:
sudo dnf update
Calypso has several dependencies that must be installed. Use the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install glibc-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel ncurses-devel
Download the latest version of Calypso from calypso/">https://keithp.com/calypso/. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the compressed file:
tar xvf calypso-x.x.x.tar.gz
Note: Replace x.x.x with the version number you downloaded.
Change the directory to the extracted Calypso folder and run the following commands in sequence:
./configure
make
sudo make install
The configure command will identify the environment and configure the build accordingly. The make command will build the server from the source code. Finally, the make install command will install the built server.
After installing Calypso, verify that it is installed correctly by running the following command:

You will see several configuration options in this file. You can customize these options according to your needs. Save the changes and exit the editor.
