How to Install Dashboard on macOS

Dashboard is a data visualization tool that allows users to create interactive graphs and dashboards. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Dashboard on macOS.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Git

Git is a version control system that is required to install Dashboard from GitHub. Follow these steps to install Git:

  1. Open the Terminal application.

  2. Enter the following command:

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
    
  3. Press Enter to execute the command.

  4. Verify the installation by entering the following command:

    git --version
    

    If Git is installed, the version number will be displayed.

Step 2: Clone the Dashboard Repository

  1. Open the Terminal application.

  2. Navigate to the directory where you want to install Dashboard using the cd command. For example:

    cd Documents/
    
  3. Enter the following command to clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/phntxx/dashboard.git
    

    This will clone the Dashboard repository and create a new directory called "dashboard" in the current directory.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

  1. Open the Terminal application.

  2. Navigate to the "dashboard" directory using the cd command:

    cd ~/Documents/dashboard
    
  3. Enter the following command to install the required dependencies:

    npm install
    

    This will install all the dependencies required to run Dashboard.

Step 4: Start Dashboard

  1. Open the Terminal application.

  2. Navigate to the "dashboard" directory using the cd command.

    cd ~/Documents/dashboard
    
  3. Enter the following command to start the Dashboard server:

    npm start
    
  4. Wait for the server to start. You will see a message in the Terminal that says "Listening on port 3000".

  5. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. This will launch the Dashboard application.
