How to Install Tiledesk on OpenSUSE latest

Introduction

Tiledesk is an open-source platform that helps developers integrate chatbots and other third-party apps into their website or mobile application. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Tiledesk on your OpenSUSE latest machine.

Prerequisites

• OpenSUSE latest running on your machine
• An internet connection

Step 1: Update your System

Before installing any new package, it's a good practice to update your system to get the latest packages and security patches. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo zypper update

Step 2: Install Node.js

Tiledesk is built on Node.js, so we need to install it on our system. Run the following command in the terminal to install Node.js:

sudo zypper install nodejs

Verify the installation by running the following command:

node -v

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Tiledesk uses MongoDB as its database. Install MongoDB by running the following command:

sudo zypper addrepo --gpgcheck-allow-unsigned http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/ "Database"
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install mongodb

Start the service by running: sudo systemctl start mongodb

Ensure that the service is running by running: sudo systemctl status mongodb

Step 4: Install Tiledesk

Clone the Tiledesk repository by running: git clone https://github.com/Tiledesk/tiledesk-server.git

Navigate to the cloned directory: cd tiledesk-server

Install the dependencies by running: npm install

Create a configuration file by running: cp .env.example .env

Edit the environment file to add your information: nano .env

These environment variables should be edited:

MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost/tiledesk
MONGODB_FORCE_FLUSH=false
PORT=3000
BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
LOG_LEVEL=info
STORAGE_DIR=storage
ENABLE_TELEGRAM=false
DEMOMODE_NO_CHECK_DOMAIN=false
ARANGO_DB=tiledesk
ARANGO_DB_USERNAME=root
ARANGO_DB_PASSWORD=
ARANGO_DB_SERVER=http://localhost:8529
DEFAULT_LOCALE=en_GB
DEFAULT_TIMEZONE=Europe/London

Once you have edited the environment file, save the changes and exit nano.

You can now run the app by running: npm start

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Tiledesk on your OpenSUSE latest machine. You can now integrate chatbots and other third-party apps into your website or mobile application.
