This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing CyTube on a Manjaro Linux system. CyTube is a real-time video synchronization and chat platform that allows users to watch and share videos together in a virtual room.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following installed on your system:
If you do not have these installed, you can install them by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm git
To get started, you need to clone the CyTube repository from GitHub. Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to store the repository. Then, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/calzoneman/sync.git
This will clone the repository into a new directory named sync.
Navigate to the sync directory and install the dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
This will install all the necessary packages and modules required to run CyTube.
Before you can start CyTube, you need to configure it by creating a configuration file. You can do this by copying the example configuration file config/example-config.js to config/config.js.
cp config/example-config.js config/config.js
Now, open the config/config.js file in a text editor and configure it according to your preferences. You can change things like the port number, the database settings, and the room settings.
Once you have configured CyTube, you can start it by running the following command:
npm start
This will start the server and the CyTube application will be accessible from your web browser at http://localhost:[port_number] where [port_number] is the port number you specified in the configuration file.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed CyTube on your Manjaro Linux system. You can now start using it to watch and share videos with your friends and colleagues in real-time. If you encounter any issues or errors, refer to the official CyTube documentation or seek help from the community.
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!
