Gokapi is a multi-language API framework that is designed to be easy to use and deploy. It is written in Go and supports several popular programming languages, including Python, Ruby, and Node.js. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps needed to install Gokapi on Void Linux.
Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your Void Linux system:
The first thing you need to do is to clone the Gokapi repository to your local system. To do this, open the Terminal and type the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/Forceu/gokapi.git
This will clone the Gokapi repository to your current working directory.
Once you have cloned the Gokapi repository, you can install it on your system by running the following command:
$ go install github.com/Forceu/gokapi/cmd/gokapi
The go install command will compile the Gokapi code and place the binary file in your $GOBIN directory, which defaults to $GOPATH/bin. If you get an error during the installation process, make sure your $GOBIN directory is in your system's PATH.
To verify that Gokapi has been installed correctly, you can run the following command:
$ gokapi version
This should display the version of Gokapi installed on your system.
To create a new Gokapi project, you need to create a new directory where your project files will be stored. For example, you can create a new directory named 'my-gokapi-project':
$ mkdir my-gokapi-project
Once you have created the directory, navigate to it and run the following command:
$ gokapi init
This will create a new Gokapi project template in your current directory.
To start the Gokapi server, navigate to your project directory and run the following command:
$ gokapi start
This will start the Gokapi server on the default port of 8080. If you want to use a different port, you can specify it with the -p or --port option.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Gokapi on Void Linux and created a new Gokapi project. You can now start building your own APIs using Gokapi! If you need more information on how to use Gokapi, please refer to the official documentation on the Gokapi GitHub repository.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
