How to Install minimalist-web-notepad on Arch Linux

Minimalist-web-notepad is a simple open-source web-based text editor. Here's how to install it on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

• A running Arch Linux system
• Access to the terminal

Step 1: Install Node.js and Git

First, we need to install Node.js and Git. Node.js is required to run the web app, while Git is needed to clone the repository.

To install both, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S nodejs git

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Next, we'll clone the minimalist-web-notepad repository to our local machine. To do this, navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/pereorga/minimalist-web-notepad.git

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Before we can run the app, we need to install its dependencies. Navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command:

npm install

Step 4: Run the App

Once the dependencies are installed, we can run the web app using the following command:

npm run start

This will start the app on port 8080. To access it, open a web browser and enter the following address:

http://localhost:8080/

Conclusion

That's it! You now have minimalist-web-notepad installed and running on your Arch Linux system. From here, you can customize the app to your liking and start jotting down notes or creating documents.
