Para is a decentralized social network platform that leverages blockchain technology. It allows for privacy, control, and ownership of your data, while still being able to connect with others. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Para on Your FreeBSD Latest.
Before we get started with the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:
Para runs on Node.js, so you will need to install Node.js and the npm package manager using the FreeBSD package manager pkg:
$ sudo pkg install node npm
Download the Para package using the following command:
$ curl -LO https://github.com/paraio/para/releases/latest/download/para.tar.gz
Once the package is downloaded, extract it to the directory of your choice:
$ tar -xvf para.tar.gz
Navigate to the Para directory and run the following command to configure Para:
$ cd para
$ npm install
Now that Para is configured, you can start the server using the following command:
$ npm start
This will start the Para server and you will see the following output:
> para@1.0.0 start /path/to/para
> node app.js
running on http://localhost:8000
Para is now running on your machine and can be accessed through your web browser using the URL http://localhost:8000.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Para on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start using Para to connect with others while maintaining ownership and privacy of your data.
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!
