Smashing is a free and open-source dashboard framework that is written using Ruby. It can be used to build beautiful and interactive dashboards that can be displayed on a web server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Smashing on Linux Mint Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install the required dependencies before installing Smashing. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev ruby-full
This command will update the package lists and install the required dependencies.
Now, we can install Smashing by running the following command:
sudo gem install smashing
This command will install Smashing and all its dependencies.
Next, we need to generate a new Smashing app. Navigate to the directory where you want to create your app and run the following command:
smashing new myapp
This command will generate a new Smashing app in the directory myapp.
To start the Smashing server, navigate to the directory where you created your app (e.g. myapp) and run the following command:
smashing start
This command will start the Smashing server on the default port (3030).
Open your web browser and go to the following address:
http://localhost:3030
This will take you to the Smashing dashboard, where you can begin building your own dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Smashing on Linux Mint Latest. You can now start building your own dashboards using Smashing. If you want to learn more about Smashing, be sure to check out the official documentation at https://smashing.github.io/.
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!
