In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of downloading and installing CyTube on Void Linux. CyTube is an open-source web application that allows users to watch synchronized video streams with chat and other interactive features. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/calzoneman/sync.
Before you begin the installation process, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Since CyTube is built using Node.js, the first thing you need to do is install Node.js on your system. To do so, you can run the following command in a terminal:
sudo xbps-install -S nodejs git
This will install Node.js and Git on your Void Linux system.
After you have installed Node.js and Git, you can download CyTube from its official GitHub repository. To do so, open a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/calzoneman/sync.git
This will download CyTube's codebase onto your local machine.
Once you have downloaded CyTube's codebase, you need to install its dependencies. To do so, navigate to the sync directory and run the following command in your terminal:
npm i --production
This will install all the required dependencies to run CyTube on your system.
Once all the dependencies are installed, you can start CyTube by running the following command from the sync directory:
node app.js
This will start CyTube, and it will be accessible from your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:8080.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install CyTube on a Void Linux system. You can now start using this powerful web application and enjoy its full features. If you face any issues during the installation process, please refer to the official CyTube documentation for further guidance.
