In this tutorial, we will install Form.io on Linux Mint. Form.io is a form builder platform that allows users to create forms without coding. It is a great tool for businesses that need to collect data and feedback from their clients.
Before starting with the installation process make sure that you have the following:
Open the terminal on your system by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T or searching for it in the system menu.
The first thing we need to do is to install the Node.js package on our system.
To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs
After installing Node.js, verify the installation by running the following command:
node -v
This will display the version of Node.js installed on your system.
To install Form.io, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g formio
This will install Form.io on your system.
To verify that Form.io is installed correctly, run the following command:
formio version
You should see the version of Form.io displayed on your terminal.
To start the Form.io server, run the following command:
formio server
This will start the server on your system.
Once the Form.io server is running, you can access it by opening your web browser and going to http://localhost:3001.
You should see the Form.io server dashboard, where you can create, edit and manage forms.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Form.io on Linux Mint. You can now create and manage forms using the Form.io platform on your system.
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!
