FHEM is a popular open source home automation software which allows you to automate and control various devices in your home. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install FHEM on Manjaro.
First, we need to install required dependencies for FHEM to function properly on Manjaro. To do so, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo pacman -S perl perl-net-ssleay perl-crypt-openssl-rsa perl-json perl-log-log4perl perl-io-socket-ssl perl-dbi perl-dbd-mysql perl-xml-simple
Next, we need to download FHEM from their official website. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
wget https://fhem.de/fhem-6.0.tar.gz
This will download the latest version of FHEM to your current working directory.
Once you have downloaded FHEM, extract the archive by executing the following command:
tar xvf fhem-6.0.tar.gz
This will extract the contents of the archive to a new directory named fhem-6.0.
To install FHEM on Manjaro, navigate to the fhem-6.0 directory and execute the following command:
sudo ./fhem.pl
This will start the installation process and prompt you to answer some questions. Follow the prompts and enter the required information such as hostname, username, and password.
Once FHEM is installed, you can access it by navigating to the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost:8083/fhem/
This will open the FHEM web interface where you can start configuring your devices and automations.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FHEM on Manjaro. You can now start exploring and configuring your home automation system.
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!
