Form.io is a powerful form builder and data collection platform that simplifies the process of creating complex forms and collecting data from website visitors. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Form.io on your Void Linux machine.
Before we start the installation process, you will need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Form.io is built on Node.js, so we need to install Node.js on our machine. Follow the below steps to install Node.js on your Void Linux machine:
xbps-install -S
xbps-install -S nodejs
node -v
If Node.js has been installed correctly, this command should output the version of Node.js that you have installed.
Now that Node.js is installed, we can install Form.io. Follow the below steps to install Form.io:
npm install -g formio
formio --version
If Form.io has been installed correctly, this command should output the version of Form.io that you have installed.
Now that Form.io is installed, we can confirm that it's working as expected. Follow the below steps to verify that Form.io is working:
formio create
Follow the instructions on the screen to create your form.
Once your form is created, you should see a success message and a URL to your form.
Open your web browser and navigate to the URL provided in the previous step.
If everything is working correctly, you should see your form open in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and verified Form.io on your Void Linux machine. You can now begin creating custom forms for your projects using Form.io.
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!
