How to Install Meetable on Clear Linux Latest

Meetable is a self-hosted, open-source event management application developed by the IndieWeb community. It allows you to publish and organize events on your site, and provides tools for RSVPs, event details, and more. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Meetable on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have the following:

Access to a Clear Linux Latest instance or server
A basic understanding of the Linux command line

Step 1: Update Your System

To ensure you have the latest software and packages, update your Clear Linux system by running the following command:

sudo swupd update

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Meetable requires a few dependencies to be installed on your system. To install these dependencies, run the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic mariadb mariadb-client

Step 3: Install NPM

NPM is required to install and manage Meetable dependencies. To install NPM, run the following command:

sudo npm install -g npm

Step 4: Install and Configure MariaDB

Meetable requires MariaDB as the database backend. To install MariaDB, run the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add mariadb mariadb-client

Once MariaDB is installed, you need to set up the root user password and log in to MariaDB using the root user account. Run the following command to secure the root user account:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

This will prompt you to set a root password and answer some security-related questions. Once it's completed, run the following command to log in to MariaDB:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Step 5: Create Meetable Database and User

Once you're logged in to MariaDB, you need to create a new database and user for Meetable. Run the following command to create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE meetable;

Next, create a new user and grant permissions to the newly created database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON meetable.* TO 'meetable_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace "password" with a secure password of your choice.

Step.6: Clone Meetable Repository

Now we're ready to clone the Meetable repository from GitHub. In your home directory (or another directory of your choice), run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/indieweb/meetable.git

Once the repository is cloned, switch to the Meetable directory:

cd meetable

Step 7: Install Meetable Dependencies and Configurations

Now you're ready to install Meetable dependencies and configurations. To do this, run the following command:

npm install
sudo npm run config

This may take a few minutes to complete, depending on your system's speed and internet connection.

Step.8: Start Meetable

Finally, you can start Meetable by running the following command:

npm start

This will start the Meetable server and make it available at http://localhost:3000.

Conclusion

That's it! You've successfully installed Meetable on Clear Linux Latest. You can now publish and organize events on your site using Meetable. Hope this tutorial helps!
