Void Linux is a rolling release Linux distribution, that uses the runit init system and xbps package manager. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Apostrophe on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure the following prerequisites are satisfied:
sudo privilegesFirst, make sure your system is up to date:
sudo xbps-install -Suv
Next, install the dependencies required to build and run Apostrophe:
sudo xbps-install -Syu gcc make openssl-devel pkg-config
Apostrophe uses MongoDB (a NoSQL database) as its backend database. To install MongoDB:
sudo xbps-install -Sy mongodb
Enable the MongoDB service:
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/mongodb /var/service/
Start the MongoDB service:
sudo sv start mongodb
Now, you can install Apostrophe using npm. Change to the directory where you want to install Apostrophe and execute the following command:
npm install apostrophe
This will install the latest version of Apostrophe and its dependencies.
Now, you can create a new Apostrophe project using the apostrophe-cli command-line interface:
npx apostrophe create myproject
This will create a new Apostrophe project in a directory named myproject.
To start the Apostrophe server, navigate to your project directory and run the following command:
npm start
This will run the server on http://localhost:3000. Open a web browser and visit that URL to see your new Apostrophe site.
