Installing WBO on Manjaro

WBO is an online collaborative drawing tool that runs on a web server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing WBO on Manjaro, a Linux distribution.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A running Manjaro system with root access
• Node.js installed on your system
• A web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) with PHP support installed and configured

Installation

Follow the steps below to install WBO:

1. Open a terminal window on your system.

2. Clone the WBO repository from GitHub by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/lovasoa/whitebophir.git
   

3. Change the directory to the WBO repository:

   cd whitebophir
   

4. Install the required dependencies by running the following command:

   npm install
   

5. Build the client-side code by running the following command:

   npm run build-client
   

6. Edit the config.json file inside the config directory to match your server environment. If you're unsure about what values to set, you can keep the default values. Here's an example:

   {
     "host": "localhost",
     "port": 8080,
     "dbPath": "mongodb://localhost/whitebophir",
     "dbOptions": {
       "useNewUrlParser": true,
       "useUnifiedTopology": true
     }
   }
   

7. Start the server by running the following command:

   npm start
   

8. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 (or the domain name and port number you configured in config.json). You should see the WBO drawing canvas.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed WBO on Manjaro. You can now use WBO to collaborate with others online and create amazing drawings.
