How to Install MedusaJs on Manjaro

MedusaJs is a JavaScript library that helps developers to build scalable and maintainable applications in a structured manner. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MedusaJs on a Manjaro Linux system.

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A Manjaro Linux system
• Node.js and npm installed on your system

Steps to Install MedusaJs

Follow the steps below to install MedusaJs on your Manjaro Linux system:

1. Open the Linux terminal on your Manjaro system.

2. Create a new project folder where you want to use MedusaJs. For example, run the following command in the terminal:

   mkdir my-medusa-project
   

3. Navigate to the project folder using the cd command:

   cd my-medusa-project
   

4. Initialize a new Node.js project using the npm init command, and provide the required information when prompted:

   npm init
   

5. Install MedusaJs using the npm install command:

   npm install medusa-js
   

6. MedusaJs will now be installed in the node_modules folder inside your project folder.

Verify the Installation

To verify that MedusaJs is installed and ready to use on your Manjaro system, you can create a test file and run a sample program to test it.

1. Create a new file test.js in your project folder using your favorite text editor.

2. Add the following sample code to the test.js file:

   const Medusa = require('medusa-js');
   
   const myMedusaApp = new Medusa();
   
   myMedusaApp.addRoute('GET', '/', (req, res) => {
       res.send('Welcome to MedusaJs!');
   });
   
   myMedusaApp.listen(3000);
   

3. Save the file and close the text editor.

4. Run the following command in the terminal to start the test program:

   node test.js
   

5. If everything is installed correctly, you should see the following message in the terminal:

   MedusaJs app listening on port 3000
   

6. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to see the message "Welcome to MedusaJs!" displayed on the screen.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed MedusaJs on your Manjaro system and tested it with a sample program. You are now ready to build your own scalable and maintainable applications using the power of MedusaJs.
