Inventaire is a free and open-source application for managing your personal library. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Inventaire on Manjaro using the terminal.
Before we get started, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to update your system packages to their latest versions. Open your terminal and execute the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update your entire system, including any installed packages.
Inventaire is built on Node.js, so we need to install it. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
This will install both Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager).
Inventaire is hosted on GitHub, so we need git to clone their repository. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S git
This will install git on your system.
In this step, we will clone the Inventaire repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/inventaire/inventaire.git
This will clone the repository to your local machine.
Now that we have the repository on our local machine, we need to install its dependencies. Change your directory to the cloned repository folder using the following command:
cd inventaire
Then run the following command:
npm install
This will install all the required dependencies for Inventaire.
After installing the dependencies, we can start Inventaire by running the following command:
npm start
This will start the application on your localhost at http://localhost:3000/.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Inventaire on Manjaro. Now you can start organizing your personal library right on your computer. Enjoy!
