Installing Reveal.js on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will see how to install Reveal.js, a popular HTML presentation framework, on a Fedora Server Latest machine.

Prerequisites

Before beginning with the installation process, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• A Fedora Server Latest machine with root or sudo access.
• Apache or Nginx web server installed and running.
• Node.js and npm installed on the server.

Step 1: Install Node.js and npm

To install Node.js and npm, use the following commands on the terminal:

$sudo dnf install nodejs
$sudo dnf install npm

Verify the installation by checking the version of Node.js and npm:

$node -v
$npm -v

Step 2: Download and Extract Reveal.js

Go to the Reveal.js website (revealjs.com/">https://revealjs.com/) and download the latest version of the framework. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download and extract Reveal.js:

$wget https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/archive/master.zip
$unzip master.zip

Step 3: Create a new presentation

To create a new presentation using Reveal.js, go to the extracted folder and run the following command:

$npm start

This will start a local server at http://localhost:8000/ where you can create your presentations.

Step 4: Configure Apache or Nginx

To use Reveal.js with your web server, you need to configure Apache or Nginx.

Apache Configuration

Create a new virtual host file for your Reveal.js presentation by using the following command:

$sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/revealjs.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName revealjs.example.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/revealjs/
    <Directory /path/to/revealjs/>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Reload Apache:

$sudo systemctl reload httpd

Nginx Configuration

Create a new server block for your Reveal.js presentation by using the following command:

$sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/revealjs.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name revealjs.example.com;
        root /path/to/revealjs/;
        index index.html;

        location / {
            try_files $uri /$uri /index.html;
        }
    }

Reload Nginx:

$sudo systemctl reload nginx

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Reveal.js on Fedora Server Latest and configured it with Apache or Nginx. You can now create and host your HTML presentations using Reveal.js.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
