This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Smashing, a web framework that helps developers to build modern and interactive dashboards, on Ubuntu Server Latest using the command line interface.
Before starting the installation process, please make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
To install Smashing, we first need to install its required dependencies. Run the following command to install all the necessary packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential ruby-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev zlib1g-dev nodejs
Now that you have the necessary packages installed, let's proceed to the installation of Smashing. Run the following command to clone the Smashing repository to your computer:
git clone https://github.com/smashing/smashing.git
Once the cloning process is complete, go to the newly created smashing directory by running:
cd smashing
Smashing requires several Ruby gems to be installed. Run the following command to install them:
bundle install
After the installation process is complete, you can start and run Smashing by executing the following command:
smashing start
Once the server starts, open your web browser and enter the following URL in the address bar:
http://<server-ip-address>:3030
Replace <server-ip-address> with the IP address of your Ubuntu server on which you installed Smashing.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Smashing on Ubuntu Server Latest using the command line interface. You can now start building interactive dashboards and web applications with Smashing.
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!
