In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install TiddlyWiki, a unique non-linear note-taking program, on Manjaro Linux.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure that you have Manjaro Linux running on your system. You should also have a reliable internet connection.
Firstly, open your web browser and go to the TiddlyWiki website at https://tiddlywiki.com/. Once you are on the website, click on the Download button to download the latest version of the software.
Alternatively, you can use the wget command to download the file directly from the terminal. Simply open the terminal and type the following command:
wget https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/releases/download/v5.1.23/tiddlywiki-linux-x64.zip
Remember to update the version number in the URL to reflect the current version of the software.
After the download has completed, navigate to the directory where the file was downloaded. Right-click on the zip file and select Extract here from the menu.
Alternatively, you can use the unzip command in the terminal. Simply navigate to the directory where the file was downloaded and type the following command:
unzip tiddlywiki-linux-x64.zip
Once the zip file has been extracted, you will see a new folder called tiddlywiki. You can move this folder to a location of your choice, such as the /opt directory via the terminal:
sudo mv tiddlywiki /opt/
With TiddlyWiki installed and in the desired directory, you can now run it using the node command in the terminal:
cd /opt/tiddlywiki/
node ./tiddlywiki.js mynewwiki --init server
This command will start a new TiddlyWiki with the name mynewwiki. You can then access the TiddlyWiki by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
You have now successfully installed TiddlyWiki on your Manjaro Linux system. Feel free to explore the many features of TiddlyWiki and start creating your own TiddlyWiki pages.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
