Wekan is an open-source Trello-like kanban board that allows you to create, organize and manage tasks, projects, and to-do lists. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Wekan on Linux Mint Latest via the command line.
Before proceeding with this installation, you need to ensure the following:
Before installing Wekan, we need to install MongoDB first. We will be using the official MongoDB repository for this installation. Run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb
sudo systemctl start mongodb
Next, we will install Node.js, the runtime environment for Wekan. Run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y nodejs npm
Now that MongoDB and Node.js are installed, we can proceed to install Wekan. Follow these steps:
Clone the Wekan repository to your system with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/wekan/wekan.git
Navigate to the Wekan directory:
cd wekan
Switch to the latest stable release:
git checkout tags/vX.Y.Z
Substitute X.Y.Z with the version number of the latest stable release.
Install Wekan dependencies:
sudo npm install
Start Wekan:
sudo npm start
Note: By default, Wekan starts on port 8080.
Once Wekan is started, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080. If you want to access Wekan remotely, you need to configure your firewall to allow incoming traffic on port 8080.
That's it! You have successfully installed Wekan on Linux Mint Latest. Enjoy managing your tasks and projects with Wekan!
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!
