Strapi is a great open-source headless CMS that can be used to create and manage APIs. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Strapi on MXLinux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Strapi is built on top of Node.js, so the first thing we need to do is to install it. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
To verify that Node.js has been correctly installed, run the following command:
node -v
This should output the version number of your Node.js installation.
Now that we have Node.js installed, we can move on to installing the Strapi CLI. This is a command-line tool that will help us create and manage Strapi projects.
To install the Strapi CLI, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g strapi
Once the installation is complete, you can verify that the Strapi CLI has been correctly installed by running the following command:
strapi -v
This should output the version number of your Strapi CLI installation.
With the Strapi CLI installed, we can now create a new Strapi project. To do this, navigate to the directory where you want to create your project and run the following command:
strapi new my-strapi-project
This will create a new Strapi project in a directory called my-strapi-project. Once the process is complete, navigate into the project directory by running the following command:
cd my-strapi-project
Finally, we can start the Strapi server by running the following command:
strapi start
This will start the Strapi server and your API should now be accessible at http://localhost:1337.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up Strapi on MXLinux Latest. You can now use Strapi to create and manage APIs for your projects.
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!
