How to install MedusaJS on OpenSUSE Latest

MedusaJS is a powerful and flexible Node.js framework for building scalable and efficient web applications. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps to install MedusaJS on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• OpenSUSE Latest (or any compatible version of openSUSE).
• Node.js (at version 12.x or higher).
• npm (Node Package Manager).

Steps to Install MedusaJS

1. Open the terminal on your OpenSUSE system.

2. Install the latest version of Node.js and npm by running the following commands:

sudo zypper install nodejs

sudo zypper install npm

3. Verify that Node.js and npm have been installed correctly by running the following commands:

node -v

npm -v

4. Create a new directory for your MedusaJS project:

mkdir my-medusa-app

5. Navigate to the project directory:

cd my-medusa-app

6. Initialize a new Node.js project within the directory by running the following command:

npm init -y

7. Install MedusaJS using npm:

npm i --save medusa

8. Once the installation is complete, you can start using MedusaJS by creating a new server file, importing the medusa module and starting the server.

For instance, you can create a new server.js file in your project directory and add the following code:

const medusa = require('medusa');

const server = medusa.createServer();

server.route('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello, World!');
});

server.listen(8080, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 8080');
});

9. Start the server by running the following command:

node server.js

10. Access your app on your web browser by visiting http://localhost:8080

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and used MedusaJS on your OpenSUSE system!
