In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Strapi on FreeBSD latest version. Strapi is an efficient and open-source headless CMS that allows users to build custom APIs and manage content with ease.
Before we install Strapi, we need to update FreeBSD. Open up the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
This command will update the package repositories and all installed packages in FreeBSD.
Strapi requires Node.js to work, so we need to install it first. To do that, execute the following command:
sudo pkg install node14
This command will install the latest version of Node.js (Node 14) on your FreeBSD system.
After installing Node.js, we need to install yarn, which is a package manager used by Strapi. Run the following command:
sudo npm install -g yarn
We are now ready to install Strapi. Execute the following command:
yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart
This command will create a new Strapi project named "my-project" and set it up with a quickstart configuration.
Once the installation is complete, navigate into the new Strapi project directory by running:
cd my-project
To start the Strapi server, enter the following command:
yarn develop
Strapi will now start listening on http://localhost:1337/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Strapi on FreeBSD latest version. Now you can start building custom APIs and managing your content with ease.
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!
