EtherCalc is a web-based spreadsheet software that allows multiple users to work on the same sheet simultaneously in real-time. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing EtherCalc on FreeBSD latest.
The first step is to install Node.js on your FreeBSD server. Node.js is required by EtherCalc to run. Below is the command to install Node.js on FreeBSD:
sudo pkg install node14
After installing Node.js, we can proceed to install EtherCalc. Below are the steps to install EtherCalc:
curl command.sudo curl -L https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc/archive/master.tar.gz | tar zxvf -
sudo mv ethercalc-master ethercalc
ethercalc and install the required dependencies.cd ethercalc
sudo npm install
sudo node bin/ethercalc.js
http://<server-ip>:8000/.By default, EtherCalc runs on the local server only, which means it's not accessible from other devices outside the server. To make EtherCalc accessible from other devices, open the configuration file settings.json located in the ethercalc directory:
sudo nano settings.json
Change the value of host to 0.0.0.0 to make EtherCalc available to the public:
"host": "0.0.0.0",
Save and close the file.
That's it, you have successfully installed EtherCalc on FreeBSD latest. You can now access EtherCalc from any device with a web browser using the server IP address. With EtherCalc, collaboration on spreadsheet data becomes easy and efficient.
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!
