WBO, or WhiteBophir, is a web-based collaborative whiteboard application that allows users to collaborate in real-time. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install WBO on OpenSUSE latest.
Before you begin, you need to have the following:
WBO is built using Node.js, so you must first install Node.js and NPM before installing WBO. Follow the steps below to install Node.js and NPM:
Open a terminal window and type the following command to update the package manager:
sudo zypper refresh
Type the following command to install Node.js and NPM:
sudo zypper install nodejs npm
This will install the latest version of Node.js and NPM.
To verify that Node.js and NPM are installed correctly, type the following commands:
node -v
npm -v
These commands should return the version number of Node.js and NPM, respectively.
Next, you need to download WBO from the Github repository. Follow the steps below:
Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you want to download WBO.
Type the following command to download WBO:
git clone https://github.com/lovasoa/whitebophir.git
This will create a directory called whitebophir in the current directory.
WBO has several dependencies that you need to install before you can run it. Follow the steps below:
Navigate to the whitebophir directory that you downloaded in the previous step.
Type the following command to install the dependencies:
npm install
This will install all the dependencies required to run WBO.
After installing the dependencies, you can run WBO by typing the following command in the whitebophir directory:
node server.js
This will start the WBO server, which you can access by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
By following this tutorial, you have successfully installed WBO on OpenSUSE latest. You can now collaborate with others in real-time using the WBO whiteboard application.
