In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Revolt on a FreeBSD Latest server.
Before we install Revolt, we need to update FreeBSD to ensure that we have the latest packages and dependencies. To do this, we will use the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
This command will update all the installed packages on your FreeBSD server.
Revolt is built using Node.js, so we need to install it first. We will use the following command to install Node.js and npm:
sudo pkg install node14 npm
This command will install Node.js version 14 and npm package manager on your FreeBSD server.
Now that we have Node.js and npm installed, we can proceed with installing Revolt. We will use the following commands to install Revolt:
sudo npm install -g lerna@4.0.0
sudo npm install -g yarn
sudo npm install -g libscrypt
sudo git clone https://github.com/revoltchat/revolt.git
cd revolt
yarn install
yarn build
These commands will clone the Revolt repository, install the required dependencies, and build the application.
We have now installed Revolt on our FreeBSD server. To start Revolt, we will use the following command:
yarn start
This will start the Revolt server, and you will see output similar to the following:
> revolt@0.0.0 start
> node build/index.js
Revolt server listening on http://0.0.0.0:8000
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Revolt on a FreeBSD Latest server. You can now start using Revolt to chat with your friends and colleagues. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please consult the Revolt documentation or seek help from the Revolt community.
