curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
The next step is to get the Svix repository to your local machine in Ubuntu. In the server terminal, use the following command to clone the Svix repository:
git clone https://github.com/svixhq/node-sdk.git
Once you have the Svix repository locally, navigate to the repository directory and install the dependencies using npm.
cd node-sdk
npm install
Svix requires some environment variables to work correctly. You can set up these variables directly on the terminal or create a .env file in the root of the project directory where you can set the environment variables.
export SVIX_APP_ID=your_svix_app_id
export SVIX_APP_SECRET=your_svix_app_secret
Finally, you can start the Svix webhook service using the following command:
npm start
The service will start to listen and send webhooks to the provided endpoints.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Svix on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now start sending and receiving webhooks using Svix. Remember to secure your environment variables and the server machine as well.
