TimeOff.Management is a cloud-based time off management software that enables businesses to manage employee vacation requests, sick days, and other time-offs. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of TimeOff.Management on Void Linux.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
TimeOff.Management is built on Node.js, so the first step is to install Node.js on your Void Linux system. To install Node.js, open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -S nodejs
This command will install Node.js and its dependencies on your system.
TimeOff.Management uses MongoDB as its database. To install MongoDB on Void Linux, run the following commands:
sudo xbps-install -S mongodb
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/mongodb /var/service/
sv start mongodb
The first command will install MongoDB and its dependencies, and the second and third commands will create a symbolic link and start the MongoDB service.
Next, you need to clone the TimeOff.Management repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/timeoff-management/application.git
This command will clone the TimeOff.Management repository to your current directory.
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the application directory and run the following command to install TimeOff.Management:
cd application
npm install
This command will install all the dependencies required by TimeOff.Management.
Now that you have installed TimeOff.Management, you need to configure it. To do this, navigate to the config directory and create a new file named production.json:
cd config && touch production.json
Then, open the file using a text editor and paste the following configuration:
{
"database": {
"url": "mongodb://localhost/timeoff-management"
},
"server": {
"port": 3000,
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"secret": "changeme"
}
}
Make sure to replace the secret property with a strong secret key.
To start TimeOff.Management, navigate back to the application directory and run the following command:
npm start
This command will start TimeOff.Management on port 3000. You can access it by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TimeOff.Management on Void Linux. You can now use this powerful time off management software to manage employee time-offs for your business.
