How to Install Our Shopping List on Void Linux

Our Shopping List is an open-source web application that allows multiple users to manage a shared shopping list. It can be accessed via a web browser and it allows users to create new lists and add, edit or remove items from them. In this tutorial, we’ll go over the steps required to install Our Shopping List on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

Installation Steps

  1. Start by opening your terminal window or console and ensure your system is up-to-date by running the following command:

    sudo xbps-install -Su
    
  2. Install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:

    sudo xbps-install -y git nodejs-npm
    
  3. Change to the directory where you want to install Our Shopping List, then clone the project from GitHub by running the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/nanawel/our-shopping-list.git
    
  4. Change into the newly-created our-shopping-list directory:

    cd our-shopping-list
    
  5. Install the application's dependencies by running the following command:

    npm install
    
  6. Once all the dependencies have been installed, you’re ready to start the application. To do this, run the following command:

    npm start
    
  7. If everything worked correctly, you should see output in your console that looks similar to the following:

    Listening on http://localhost:3000
