In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Coder on your Manjaro machine.
Before we start with the installation, it is important to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
To ensure that all the packages are up-to-date, we will update the system first. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all the currently installed packages on your system.
Coder requires Node.js and NPM to be installed on your system. To install them, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
This will install Node.js and NPM on your system.
Next, we need to download and extract the Coder package. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
wget https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.12.0/code-server-3.12.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
This will download the Coder package to your current working directory. To extract the package, run the following command:
tar -xvf code-server-3.12.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
This will extract the package into a new directory named 'code-server'.
Now that Coder is downloaded and extracted, we can launch it by running the following command:
./code-server-3.12.0-linux-x86_64/code-server
This will start the Coder server, and you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080
You will be prompted to enter a password to access the server for the first time.
That’s it! You now have Coder installed and running on your Manjaro machine. You can use it to develop and collaborate on your projects in the cloud.
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!
