Asciiflow is a simple but powerful tool that allows you to create ASCII art and diagrams directly in your browser. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Asciiflow on your Manjaro Linux system.
Before we get started with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Since we'll be using Git to download the Asciiflow repository, we first need to install Git on our Manjaro system. Open up a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
Enter your password when prompted, and wait for the installation to complete.
Once Git is installed, we can clone the Asciiflow repository to our local system. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the repository and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/lewish/asciiflow2.git
Git will download the repository files to your local directory.
Asciiflow has a few dependencies that we need to install before we can run the app. Navigate to the Asciiflow directory and run the following command:
cd asciiflow2
sudo pacman -S npm
npm install
This will install the necessary dependencies for Asciiflow to run.
Once the installation is complete, we can start up Asciiflow. Run the following command in the Asciiflow directory:
npm start
This will start a local development server and launch Asciiflow in your default web browser.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Asciiflow on your Manjaro Linux system. Now you're ready to create ASCII art and diagrams to your heart's content!
