How to install Teedy on Manjaro

Teedy is an open-source self-hosted alternative to popular note-taking applications such as Evernote, Google Keep, and Microsoft OneNote. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Teedy on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install required dependencies

Before installing Teedy, we need to ensure that certain dependencies are installed on our system. Open the terminal emulator and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git gcc nodejs npm postgresql

This will install Git, GCC, Node.js, NPM, and PostgreSQL on your system.

Step 2: Install Teedy

Clone the latest release of Teedy from its GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/sismics/docs-teedy.git

Move into the cloned directory:

cd docs-teedy

Run the Teedy installer:

sh ./install.sh

During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter your PostgreSQL username, password, and the name of the Teedy database. Optionally, you can also customize the installation directory.

After the installation is complete, start the Teedy service:

systemctl start teedy

Step 3: Access Teedy

You can now access Teedy by opening a web browser and entering the domain name or IP address of your server followed by port 8080 (if you didn't change it during installation).

For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.0.100, enter the following URL in your web browser:

http://192.168.0.100:8080

You can now create an account and start using Teedy!
