How to Install Dashing on macOS?

Dashing is an open-source framework used to build real-time dashboards. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install dashing on macOS.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following installed on your macOS:

• Ruby >= 1.9.3
• Bundler gem install bundler

Steps

1. Open your terminal application and navigate to the desired folder where you want to install dashing.

   cd ~/Documents
   

2. Install dashing using the bundler.

   bundle gem dashing
   cd dashing
   bundle install
   

3. Create a new dashing project.

   dashing new my-dashboard
   cd my-dashboard
   bundle install
   

4. Start the server

   dashing start
   

   This command will start the dashing server at http://localhost:3030. You can view your dashboard by navigating to this URL in your browser.

5. Modify your Dashboard

   Now you can customize your dashboard by modifying the dashing job files located in the jobs folder of your dashboard project.

6. Deploy

   Once you’ve customized the dashboard, you can deploy it to a cloud service or a server of your choice.

Congratulations, you’ve successfully installed dashing on your macOS and created your first dashboard!
