HedgeDoc is an open-source collaborative real-time Markdown editor. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install HedgeDoc on Manjaro, a Linux distribution based on Arch Linux.
Before you start with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, update the Manjaro system by opening the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update the system and ensure that all the necessary packages are up to date.
HedgeDoc requires Node.js to run. To install it, execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
Next, you need to install Git, which is a version control system that allows easy collaboration with HedgeDoc repositories. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S git
With Git installed, you can now clone the HedgeDoc repository. Go to the directory where you want to install HedgeDoc and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc.git
This command will clone the HedgeDoc repository to your local machine.
Go to the cloned repository directory by running the following command in the terminal:
cd hedgedoc
Now, you need to install HedgeDoc dependencies using npm (Node Package Manager). To do that, run the following command:
npm install
This command will install all the necessary dependencies.
Finally, you can start the HedgeDoc server by running the following command:
npm run server
This command will start the server, and you can access your HedgeDoc instance by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
You have successfully installed HedgeDoc on your Manjaro machine. You can now use it for collaborative writing, taking notes, and other use cases that require real-time collaboration.
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!
