In this tutorial, we will be walking through the process of installing Hubot on the latest version of NixOS. Hubot is a tool that allows users to create chatbot scripts in different programming languages.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
First, we need to install Nix package manager. To do this, open your terminal window and run the following command:
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
This will download and install the latest version of Nix on your machine.
Hubot is built on Node.js, so we need to install it to run Hubot. Run the following command to install Node.js:
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nodejs-16_x
Now, we can install Hubot. To do this, we will use the npm package manager that comes with Node.js. Run the following command:
npm install -g yo generator-hubot
This command will install Yo and the Hubot generator globally on your machine.
Now that we have Hubot installed, we can create a new Hubot instance. Navigate to the directory where you want to create your Hubot instance and run the following command:
yo hubot
This will start the generator and prompt you for some information to set up your Hubot instance.
After setting up your Hubot instance, you can start it by running the following command:
./bin/hubot
This will start your Hubot instance and you can begin writing and running commands.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and created a Hubot instance on NixOS latest. Now, you can begin customizing your Hubot instance to fit your needs.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
