In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Ackee, an open-source self-hosted analytics tool, on MXLinux Latest. Ackee provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for tracking the number of visits, unique visitors, and page views of your website.
Before starting this tutorial, you will need to have the following:
The first step to installing Ackee is to install Node.js on your server. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that allows you to run JavaScript programs on your server.
To install Node.js, open a terminal window and run the following commands:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
After installing Node.js, you can check the version by running the following command:
node -v
Next, you will need to install Git, a version control system that allows you to easily download and update software from GitHub.
To install Git, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
After installing Git, you can verify the installation by running the following command:
git --version
Now that you have installed Node.js and Git, you can download and install Ackee.
To download Ackee, clone the GitHub repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/electerious/Ackee.git
This will create a new directory called Ackee in your current location.
Next, navigate to the Ackee directory and install the necessary node modules by running the following commands:
cd Ackee
npm install
After installing the node modules, you can start Ackee by running the following command:
npm start
This will start Ackee on port 3000. If you want to run Ackee on a different port, you can specify the port using the PORT environment variable. For example:
PORT=8080 npm start
This will start Ackee on port 8080.
After starting Ackee, you can configure it by editing the config.yml file located in the Ackee/config directory.
In this file, you can specify your domain name, database credentials, and other configuration options.
Finally, you can access Ackee by navigating to your domain name in a web browser. For example, if your domain name is example.com and you are running Ackee on port 3000, you can access Ackee by navigating to http://example.com:3000.
