KeystoneJS is an open-source content management system and web application framework that is built on top of Node.js and MongoDB. It allows you to quickly and easily create dynamic websites and applications, and is especially useful for those who are new to web development.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install KeystoneJS on OpenSUSE Latest. The instructions below assume that you have root access to your server, and that you are comfortable working with the command line.
Before you begin, make sure that your OpenSUSE system is up-to-date and that you have Node.js and MongoDB installed. You can install them by following these commands:
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install nodejs mongodb
To install KeystoneJS, you will need to use the Node Package Manager (npm). Open up your terminal and run the following command:
sudo npm install -g generator-keystone
This will install the KeystoneJS generator globally on your system, allowing you to create new KeystoneJS projects from the command line.
Once the generator-keystone package is installed, you can use it to create a new KeystoneJS project. To do so, navigate to the directory where you want to create your project and run the following command:
yo keystone
This will launch the KeystoneJS generator, which will prompt you for various options such as your project name, database configuration, and so on. Follow the prompts and enter the required information to create your new project.
Once your KeystoneJS project is created, navigate to its root directory and start the server by running the following command:
npm start
This will launch the KeystoneJS server and make it available at http://localhost:3000 by default. You can now access your site by visiting that URL in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed KeystoneJS on OpenSUSE and created a new project. You can now start building your website or application using KeystoneJS, and take advantage of its powerful features like built-in authentication, user management, and content editing tools. Happy coding!
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!
