EtherCalc is a powerful online spreadsheet tool that can be used for collaboration and data analysis. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing EtherCalc on Manjaro.
Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
EtherCalc runs on Node.js, so the first step is to install it. To install Node.js, open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
This will install Node.js along with its package manager npm.
EtherCalc requires a Redis server to run. To install Redis, open a terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S redis
Once you have installed Redis, enable it to start at boot time using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable redis
Then start the Redis service by running:
sudo systemctl start redis
We can now proceed to download and install EtherCalc. You can either download the ZIP archive or clone the repository using git. For this tutorial, we will clone the repository.
Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you want to install EtherCalc.
Clone the repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the ethercalc directory.
cd ethercalc
Use npm to install the dependencies:
npm install
You can now start EtherCalc by running the following command:
npm start
This will start the EtherCalc server. You can access EtherCalc by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed EtherCalc on Manjaro Linux. You can now use EtherCalc to create online spreadsheets for collaboration and data analysis.
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!
