ActiveWorkflow is an open-source workflow automation tool for creating, managing, and monitoring workflows. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of ActiveWorkflow on Linux Mint.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure the following requirements are met:
To install ActiveWorkflow, you need to clone its repository from GitHub. Open the terminal and type the following command:

Save the file and run the following commands to create the database and run the database migrations:
