How to Install Chartbrew on Arch Linux

Chartbrew is a data visualization and management tool that allows you to create and share charts, manage data sources and more. It's a great tool for teams that need to collaborate on data-driven projects. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Chartbrew on Arch Linux.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Chartbrew, we need to install a number of dependencies on our system. Open the terminal and run the following commands:

sudo pacman -S git nodejs npm postgresql

This will install git, nodejs, npm and postgresql on your Arch Linux system.

Step 2: Clone the Chartbrew Repository

Next, we need to clone the Chartbrew repository to our local machine. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/chartbrew/chartbrew.git

This will clone the Chartbrew repository to the current directory.

Step 3: Install Required Node Packages

Change into the Chartbrew directory by running:

cd chartbrew

Then, install the required Node packages using npm:

npm install

Step 4: Configure the PostgreSQL Database

Create a new PostgreSQL database and user for Chartbrew:

sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE USER chartbrew WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE chartbrew;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE chartbrew TO chartbrew;
\q

Remember to replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.

Next, copy the env.example file to .env:

cp env.example .env

And edit the .env file to add the database connection details:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_NAME=chartbrew
DB_USER=chartbrew
DB_PASS=password

Step 5: Run Chartbrew

Finally, start Chartbrew by running:

npm start

This will start the Chartbrew server and make it accessible at http://localhost:3000.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Chartbrew on your Arch Linux system!
