Budibase is a no-code platform that allows users to build web applications, databases, interfaces, and processes without having to write any code. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Budibase on Linux Mint.
Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing any new software, it is recommended to update your system to its latest version. To update your system on Linux Mint, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
This command will update your system's package repositories and upgrade any outdated packages.
Budibase is built on Node.js, so it is required to install it first. To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Once the installation is complete, verify it by running the command:
node -v
If the version of Node.js is displayed, it indicates that it has been successfully installed.
Next, you need to install the Budibase CLI (Command Line Interface) on your system. This will allow you to create, manage, and deploy your Budibase applications.
To install the CLI, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g @budibase/budibase-cli
This command will install the CLI globally on your system.
To verify that Budibase has been installed successfully, run the following command:
budibase version
If the version of Budibase is displayed, it indicates that it has been successfully installed.
Now that you have installed Budibase, you can create a new project. To create a new project, run the following command:
budibase new my-project
Replace my-project with the name of your project.
This command will create a new Budibase project in a directory named my-project.
You can launch Budibase by running the following command from the root directory of your project:
budibase dev
This command will build and launch your project. You can access it in your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:8080.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Budibase on Linux Mint Latest and launched your first project.
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!
