In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Ghostfolio on Linux Mint, the latest release. Ghostfolio is a popular crypto portfolio management tool that can be used to track your digital assets.
Before we begin, we need to ensure that we have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to download Ghostfolio. You can do this by navigating to the https://ghostfol.io/ website and clicking on the "Download" button. This will download the latest version of Ghostfolio as a compressed zip file (ghostfolio.zip).
Next, we need to extract the files from the compressed zip file. To do this, we can use the following command in the terminal:
unzip ghostfolio.zip
This will create a new directory called "ghostfolio" that contains all the files we need to run Ghostfolio.
Ghostfolio runs on Node.js, so we need to ensure that we have it installed on our system. To install Node.js, we can use the following commands in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
Next, we need to install the dependencies required by Ghostfolio. We can do this by navigating to the "ghostfolio" directory and running the following command in the terminal:
npm install
This will install all the required packages and modules.
Finally, we can start Ghostfolio by running the following command in the terminal:
npm start
This will start the Ghostfolio server, and you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:3000/ in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ghostfolio on Linux Mint. You can now use it to manage your crypto portfolio and track your digital assets.
