Enter your administrative password when prompted to continue.
EtherCalc is built with NodeJS, which means that we need to install it on our system before we can install EtherCalc. You can install the latest version of NodeJS by running the following command:
sudo apt install nodejs
This will also install the Node Package Manager (NPM).
Go to https://ethercalc.net/ and download the latest release of EtherCalc. You should see a link to download the .tar.gz file.
To extract the contents of the .tar.gz file, run the following command in your terminal:
tar -xzf ethercalc-latest.tar.gz
This will create a directory called "ethercalc".
Navigate to the directory where you extracted EtherCalc and run the following command to install the dependencies:
cd ethercalc
npm install
To start EtherCalc, run the following command in your terminal:
nodejs server.js
This will start EtherCalc on http://localhost:8000.
You have successfully installed EtherCalc on your MXLinux Latest system. You can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.
