Steps to Install Helpy

Update the system:

Before installing Helpy, let's update our system's packages to the latest version. To do that, run the following command:
```
sudo swupd update
```
Install Required Packages:

Helpy requires some packages to be installed before proceeding. Run the following command to install these packages:
```
sudo swupd bundle-add ruby-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add postgresql
sudo swupd bundle-add nginx
sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic
```

Install Helpy:

Clone the Helpy repository from Github:

git clone https://github.com/helpyio/helpy.git /opt/helpy

Install Gems

More packages are required for Helpy, so run the following command to install them:

sudo su - helpyuser -c 'cd /opt/helpy && bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite'

Configure the Database:

Create a new PostgreSQL database and user for Helpy, and grant that user appropriate permissions:

sudo su - postgres
psql
CREATE DATABASE helpydb;
CREATE USER helpyuser WITH PASSWORD 'my_password_here';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE helpydb TO helpyuser;
\q
exit

Configure the Environment:

Edit /opt/helpy/.env and update the following lines:
```
# Postgres Database Settings
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_USER=helpyuser
DB_PASS=my_password_here
DB_NAME=helpydb
```
You can edit other configuration options based on your needs.

Configure Nginx:

Edit the file /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf and update it as follows:

upstream helpy {
     server 127.0.0.1:3000;
 }

 server {
     listen       80;
     server_name  localhost;

     location /socket.io/ {
         proxy_pass http://helpy;
         proxy_redirect off;
         proxy_http_version 1.1;
         proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
         proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
     }

     location / {
         proxy_pass http://helpy;
     }
 }

Start Helpy:

Start Helpy using the following command:

sudo su - helpyuser -c 'cd /opt/helpy && bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b 127.0.0.1 -e production'
