Ghostfolio is an open-source portfolio tracker designed for cryptocurrencies that allows users to monitor their investments while keeping their financial data private. In this tutorial, we will guide you through installing Ghostfolio on OpenBSD.
Before starting, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Ghostfolio requires Node.js to run. To install Node.js, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pkg_add node
The command installs Node.js as well as its dependencies.
After installing Node.js, clone the Ghostfolio repository. First, navigate to the directory where you want to install Ghostfolio. Then, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ghostfol.io/ghostfolio.git
The command clones the Ghostfolio repository to the current directory.
Navigate to the Ghostfolio directory and install its dependencies using the following command:
npm install
The command installs Ghostfolio's dependencies necessary for running the app.
Ghostfolio requires configuration before it can be used. First, create a copy of the .env.example file and rename it to .env. Open the .env file using a text editor and fill in the required information, such as database credentials and API keys. Save the file and exit.
Finally, start Ghostfolio using the following command:
npm start
The command launches the Ghostfolio app, which should be accessible from a web browser at http://localhost:3000/.
