Dashing is a popular dashboard platform for building web applications that display real-time data. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Dashing on Linux Mint.
Before we install Dashing, we need to install some dependencies that Dashing requires to run. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
sudo apt-get install -y ruby-dev
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo apt-get install -y npm
sudo gem install bundler
Next, we will download and install the Dashing application.
Open the terminal and run the following commands:
gem install dashing
Once Dashing installation is completed, let's create a new dashboard.
dashing new mydashboard
To start the Dashing server, go to the root directory of the dashboard and run the following command:
dashing start
This will start the Dashing server and you can access it by opening the web browser and going to the following URL:
http://localhost:3030
If you want to access the dashboard from a network device, use the IP address of your machine instead of 'localhost'.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dashing and created a new dashboard on Linux Mint.
In this tutorial, we have covered the installation process of Dashing and how to create a new dashboard. You can now start building your dashboard and display real-time data on your Linux Mint OS.
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!
