How to install Wekan on Manjaro

Wekan is an open-source Kanban board that allows users to manage tasks and projects easily. Here's how you can install it on Manjaro:

Step 1: Install Git

Git is a version control system that allows you to track changes in your code. You will need to install Git if it is not already installed on your system. To do this, open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Step 2: Clone the Wekan repository

Next, you will need to clone the Wekan repository to your local machine. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/wekan/wekan.git

This will create a Wekan directory in your current working directory.

Step 3: Install Meteor

Wekan is built on top of the Meteor framework, so you will need to install Meteor to run Wekan. To install Meteor, run the following command in the terminal:

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

Step 4: Install Wekan

Now that you have cloned the Wekan repository and installed Meteor, you can install Wekan by navigating to the Wekan directory and running the following command:

meteor npm install

This will install all the dependencies required for Wekan to run.

Step 5: Run Wekan

To run Wekan, navigate to the Wekan directory and run the following command:

meteor

This will start the Wekan server, and you should be able to access it by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wekan on your Manjaro system.
