Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
Before we start, it is good practice to update the operating system to the latest version. To update the system, run the following command:
sudo pkg update -f && sudo pkg upgrade -y
This command will fetch the latest package information from the FreeBSD repository and update the system.
The next step is to install Node.js. Node.js is required to run form.io. To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo pkg install node
This command will install Node.js and its dependencies.
form.io requires a MongoDB database to store and manage form data. To install MongoDB, run the following command:
sudo pkg install mongodb42
This command will install MongoDB version 4.2 on your FreeBSD Latest server.
Now that we have installed Node.js and MongoDB, it's time to install form.io. To do that, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g formio@latest
This command will install the latest version of form.io globally on your system.
Before we can start using form.io, we need to start the MongoDB service. To do that, run the following command:
sudo service mongodb onestart
This command will start the MongoDB service.
Now that we have installed form.io, we can test if it's working correctly by running the following command:
formio create
This command will create a new form.io project. You will be prompted to enter the name of the project, description, and the formio server you want to use.
Once you have provided the required information, the form.io project will be created, and you can start creating new forms with the drag-and-drop form builder.
