How to install Our Shopping List on Manjaro

In this tutorial, we will explain the steps to install Our Shopping List on Manjaro. Our Shopping List is a simple and lightweight grocery list app developed with React, Firebase, and MaterializeCSS.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Manjaro installed on your system
• Node.js and npm installed
• Firebase account and project credentials

Steps

Now that we have the prerequisites out of the way, let's continue with the installation process:

1. Clone the repository: First, we need to clone the Our Shopping List repository from GitHub. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/nanawel/our-shopping-list.git
   

2. Install dependencies: Next, navigate to the Our Shopping List directory that was cloned in the previous step (cd our-shopping-list) and install the project dependencies using npm:

   npm install
   

3. Set up Firebase credentials: Our Shopping List uses Firebase to store data. To use Firebase in the app, you need to add your Firebase project credentials to a .env file.

   To do this, go to your Firebase project console, create a new web app, and copy the configuration code. Then, create a .env file in the root directory of your project and add the following variables as shown in the example:

   REACT_APP_API_KEY=your_api_key
   REACT_APP_AUTH_DOMAIN=your_auth_domain
   REACT_APP_DATABASE_URL=your_database_url
   REACT_APP_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id
   REACT_APP_STORAGE_BUCKET=your_storage_bucket
   REACT_APP_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=your_messaging_sender_id
   REACT_APP_APP_ID=your_app_id
   

   Replace "your_xxx" with your corresponding Firebase project credentials.

4. Run the app: Now, we are ready to start the app. Run the following command to start the development server:

   npm start
   

   This will start the app on a local development server at http://localhost:3000. You may need to open your browser and navigate to this URL to see the app running.

5. Build the app: Once you are ready to deploy the app to a production environment, you need to build the app. To build the app, run the following command:

   npm run build
   

   This will create a build directory in the root of the project. You can then host this directory on any web server of your choice to serve the app.

Conclusion

That's it! You now have Our Shopping List installed and running on your Manjaro system. With this app, you can easily create, update, and manage your grocery lists with ease. Enjoy!
