Pump.io is a free, open-source, decentralized social network platform that allows users to share and interact with content in real-time. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Pump.io on Linux Mint Latest.
Before you start the installation process, make sure the following prerequisites are met:
To install Pump.io, we first need to install its dependencies, including build-essential, curl, and libssl-dev.
To install these dependencies, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential curl libssl-dev
Next, install Pump.io's additional dependencies by executing the following command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy nodejs mongodb
Once the dependencies have been installed, the next step is to download the Pump.io source code.
You can download the latest stable release of Pump.io from the official GitHub repository using the following command:
curl -L -O https://github.com/pump-io/pump.io/archive/master.zip
Unzip the downloaded package using the following command:
unzip master.zip
Then, rename the extracted directory to "pump.io" using the following command:
mv pump.io-master pump.io
Navigate to the "pump.io" directory using the following command:
cd pump.io
Now, install Pump.io and its dependencies using the following command:
npm install
Before starting the Pump.io server, we must configure it as per our requirements.
Copy the default configuration file using the following command:
cp ./config.json.sample ./config.json
Open the "config.json" file using the nano text editor or any other text editor:
nano config.json
Edit the configuration according to your needs. You can change the server name, port number, database settings, and more.
Finally, start the Pump.io server by running the following command:
node bin/pump
Once the server is started, you can access it by opening a web browser and visiting "http://localhost:8000". If everything is configured correctly, you will see the Pump.io homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pump.io on your Linux Mint Latest operating system. You can now create your Pump.io account, start sharing content, and interact with other users.
