How to Install Budibase on Arch Linux

Installing Budibase on Arch Linux is a straightforward process. To get started, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Install Node.js

Budibase is built using Node.js, so you’ll need to have it installed on your system before you can proceed. You can install Node.js using the package manager of your choice, but for Arch Linux, use the following command:

sudo pacman -S nodejs

Once Node.js is installed, verify that it was installed successfully by running the following command:

node -v

If the command returns the version number of Node.js that you installed, then Node.js was installed successfully.

Step 2: Install NPM

NPM is the package manager for Node.js, and it’s used to manage the dependencies of Budibase. To install NPM on Arch Linux, use the following command:

sudo pacman -S npm

Step 3: Install Budibase

To install Budibase, use the following command:

npm install budibase-cli -g

The -g flag is used to install the package globally, so you can access the budibase command from anywhere on your system.

Step 4: Verify Installation

To verify that Budibase was installed successfully, run the following command:

budibase version

If Budibase was installed successfully, you should see the version number of the CLI tool displayed in your terminal.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed Budibase on your Arch Linux system. You can now use Budibase to build powerful web applications with ease.
