Appsmith is an open-source software development platform that enables developers to create, deploy, and manage professional-grade applications. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Appsmith on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing Appsmith, you will need to have the following:
To begin, you need to install the dependencies required for Appsmith to run smoothly. Execute the following command in your terminal to install all dependencies:
sudo pkg install -y wget bash node npm mongodb gmake gcc
After the installation of the dependencies, the next step is to install Node.js. This is the most important requirement for Appsmith. Execute the following commands to download and install Node.js:
cd /usr/ports/www/node && make install clean
After installing Node.js, check its version by running the following command:
node -v
Appsmith requires MongoDB to store data. To install MongoDB on FreeBSD, follow these steps:
sudo pkg install -y mongodb
sudo service mongodb start
sudo sysrc mongodb_enable="YES"
To verify that MongoDB is running, execute this command:
mongo --eval 'db.runCommand({connectionStatus: 1})'
After installing the dependencies, Node.js, and MongoDB, we can install Appsmith by running the following commands:
cd /usr/local
sudo git clone https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith.git
cd appsmith
sudo chmod -R 777 .
sudo npm install
To start the Appsmith server, run the following command:
sudo npm run start
After successful installation, you can access Appsmith by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
With these simple steps, you can successfully install Appsmith on FreeBSD Latest. If you face any issues, you can check the Appsmith documentation or seek support from the Appsmith community.
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!
