In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tinode, a messaging platform, on MXLinux Latest. Tinode is an open-source messaging platform that supports end-to-end encryption, group chats, file sharing, and more. Tinode can be used for both personal and business communications. So let's get started!
Before we begin, make sure you have the following requirements:
Follow these steps to install Tinode on your MXLinux Latest:
Git is a tool that allows you to manage source code repositories. In order to download and install Tinode from GitHub, we need to install Git first. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
Next, we need to clone the Tinode repository from GitHub. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the Tinode source code and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/tinode/tinode.git
Tinode is developed using Node.js, so we need to install Node.js first. To do that, you can execute the following command in the terminal:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.41.0/install.sh | bash
After that, close and reopen the terminal and execute the following command:
nvm install 14.18.1
Next, we need to install Yarn, which is a package manager for Node.js. To install Yarn, execute the following command:
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn
Navigate to the Tinode directory that you cloned earlier and execute the following command to install the dependencies:
cd tinode
yarn install
After installing the dependencies, we can now build Tinode by executing the following command:
yarn build
To start Tinode, execute the following command:
node server
Now you can access Tinode by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:6060. If you want to access Tinode from a different device, you can replace "localhost" with the IP address of the MXLinux computer where Tinode is installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tinode on MXLinux Latest.
In this tutorial, we have guided you through the process of installing Tinode, an open-source messaging platform, on MXLinux Latest. Tinode is a powerful tool that can be used for both personal and business communications. We hope this tutorial has been helpful for you.
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!
