In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Strapi on Ubuntu Server latest version. Strapi is an open-source content management system that allows you to create and manage a website or application without writing any code.
To install Strapi, you need the following requirements:
Before starting, we recommend updating the system packages to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
By default, Node.js and NPM are not installed on your Ubuntu Server. To install it, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by checking the Node.js and NPM versions.
node -v
npm -v
You can install Strapi globally using npm. To install Strapi, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g strapi
To create a new Strapi project, navigate to the root directory where you want to create the project and run the following commands:
mkdir strapi-project
cd strapi-project
strapi new my-project
The above command will create a new Strapi project named 'my-project' inside the 'strapi-project' directory.
To start the Strapi server, navigate to the project directory and run the following commands:
cd my-project
strapi start
This will start the Strapi server on port 1337. You can view the Strapi server in your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:1337 and start managing your content.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Strapi on your Ubuntu Server and created a new Strapi project. You can now start building your website or application with Strapi.
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!
