This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Crater on Void Linux. Crater is a free and open-source invoicing web application that allows you to create and send invoices to your clients.
Before you start with the installation, make sure you have the following requirements:
The first step is to clone the Crater repository from GitHub. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/crater-invoice/crater.git
This will download the Crater source code into a new directory called "crater".
Now that you have the Crater source code, you need to install the required dependencies. Switch to the crater directory using the following command:
cd crater
Then, run the following command to install the dependencies:
npm install
This will install all the required dependencies for Crater to work properly.
Next, you need to configure Crater to work properly. Copy the .env.example file to .env using the following command:
cp .env.example .env
Then, edit the .env file with your preferred text editor and set the required configuration variables. You can find more information about configuring Crater in the Crater documentation.
Finally, you can start the Crater application by running the following command:
npm run dev
This will start the application in development mode. Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:3000 to access the Crater application.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Crater on Void Linux. With Crater, you can easily create and send invoices to your clients, making it a useful tool for any freelancer or small business owner.
