Tipi is an open-source tool that allows you to run Tipi locally on your machine without the need for a server. In this tutorial, we will cover how to install Tipi on Linux Mint Latest.
Before we begin, you will need to have the following requirements:
Tipi requires Node.js to be installed on your system. To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
To confirm that Node.js has been successfully installed, run the following command:
node -v
This should output the version number of Node.js installed on your system.
Tipi uses Git to manage its source code. If Git is not already installed, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
Next, you will need to clone the Tipi repository to your local machine. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/meienberger/runtipi.git
This will create a local copy of the Tipi repository in the current directory.
Navigate to the runtipi directory and install the dependencies by running the following command:
cd runtipi
npm install
This will install all the necessary dependencies required for Tipi to run.
To start Tipi, run the following command:
npm start
This will start Tipi on your local machine, and you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
In this tutorial, we covered how to install Tipi on Linux Mint Latest. After following these steps, you should be able to start using Tipi for your local development needs.
