In this tutorial, we will be installing Nullboard, a minimalist kanban board from its GitHub repository, on Manjaro. Throughout the process, we will be using the command line interface in the terminal.
Before starting the installation process, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to clone Nullboard repository from its GitHub repository using the git command. Open the terminal and run the following:
git clone https://github.com/apankrat/nullboard.git
This will download the Nullboard repository from GitHub to your local machine.
Next, navigate to the Nullboard directory by using the command cd nullboard. Once inside the directory, install the project dependencies using npm. Run the following command in the terminal:
npm install
After installing the project dependencies, you need to edit the configuration file to match your requirements. Use the command nano ./config.js to open the configuration file in the nano text editor.
Here, you can customize the following settings:
port: The port your Nullboard server will listen ontitle: The title of your Nullboard servercolumns: Define the columns in your board using an arraycards: Define the cards in your board using an arrayOnce you have made the necessary changes, save the file and exit the editor using the Ctrl + X key combination.
To start Nullboard, run the following command in the terminal:
npm start
This will start the Nullboard server on the specified port. You can access the board using your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:port (replace port with the actual port number defined in the configuration file).
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Nullboard on Manjaro. Now, you can easily create a minimalist kanban board for your project by customizing the configuration settings.
