Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:

Step 1: Update your Server

Before downloading any files, it is a good practice to update your server's packages to the latest versions. In Ubuntu, you can do this by running the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Node.js

ToolJet requires Node.js to run. To install Node.js on Ubuntu, follow the steps below:

1. Open the terminal and run the following command to add the Node.js package repository to your system:

   curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
   

   This command will add the Node.js repository to your system.

2. Install Node.js by running the following command:

   sudo apt install -y nodejs
   

   This command will install the latest version of Node.js on your system.

3. Verify the Node.js installation by running the following command:

   node -v
   

   If Node.js is installed correctly, the output should display the version number.

   This command will create a new ToolJet project in the tooljet-projects directory.

4. Modify the config.yml file in your project's directory to match your requirements.

   nano ~/tooljet-projects/YOUR_PROJECT_NAME/config.yml
   

   Replace YOUR_PROJECT_NAME with the name of your project.

   In the config.yml file, you can set various configurations like database URL, environment variables, storage, and more.
