Smashing is a free and open-source web framework that lets developers build dashboards quickly and easily. With its simple architecture, customization features and user-friendly interface, it has become a popular choice for many developers. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Smashing on Manjaro.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
To start the installation process, we need to install some dependencies such as Git, Ruby 2.2.2 or newer, and the Rails gem. Run the following command in your terminal to install these dependencies:
sudo pacman -S git ruby ruby-rails
This command will install the necessary dependencies. Once the installation is complete, you can check the installed Ruby version by running the command:
ruby -v
The next step is to install the Smashing gem. Run the following command to install the Smashing gem:
sudo gem install smashing
This command will install the Smashing gem on your machine.
Now that we have installed the necessary dependencies and the Smashing gem, we can create a new Smashing dashboard. Run the following command to create a new Smashing dashboard:
smashing new mydashboard
This command will create a new directory named 'mydashboard', which contains some files and folders for your new dashboard.
To start the Smashing server and run your dashboard, navigate to the newly created directory and run the following command:
cd mydashboard
smashing start
This command will start the Smashing server on port 3030, and you can access it by opening a browser and navigating to http://localhost:3030.
You have successfully installed Smashing on your Manjaro machine and created a new Smashing dashboard. You can now take advantage of this powerful web framework and start building your own custom dashboards.
