Nhost is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform that lets front-end developers build and deploy scalable web and mobile applications with ease. Nhost is easy to use, secure and it provides a complete set of services that will simplify the development process. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Nhost on MXLinux Latest.
Before we get started with the installation of Nhost, make sure that you have the following prerequisites set up:
Nhost requires Node.js to be installed on your system. If you don’t have Node.js, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
Nhost is built to work with PostgreSQL. You can install PostgreSQL by running the following command:
sudo apt install -y postgresql
After installation, start the PostgreSQL service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
To check the status of the PostgreSQL service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status postgresql.service
The Nhost CLI is a command-line interface tool that makes it easy to create, configure and manage your Nhost projects. You can install Nhost CLI by running the following command:
sudo npm install -g nhost
Once you have installed Nhost CLI, you can create a new Nhost project by running the following command:
nhost login
After you’ve logged in, run the following command to create a new project:
nhost init my-project
Replace "my-project" with the name of your project.
To start the development environment for your project, navigate to your project’s root directory and run the following command:
nhost dev
The Nhost development environment will run and you should see a message stating that your project is running on http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Nhost on MXLinux Latest! You can now start building your web or mobile applications with ease.
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!
