How to Install Smashing on Clear Linux Latest

Smashing is a free and open-source dashboard framework that helps you create beautiful widgets and dashboards with minimal effort. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps required to install Smashing on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• A running Clear Linux Latest instance
• A terminal emulator (e.g., GNOME Terminal)
• Basic knowledge of the Linux command-line interface

Step 1: Install Ruby

Smashing is built using Ruby, so you need to install Ruby on your Clear Linux Latest instance. To do that, run the following command in your terminal emulator:

$ sudo swupd bundle-add ruby-basic

This command will install Ruby and its dependencies on your system.

Step 2: Install Smashing

Once Ruby is installed, you can install Smashing using the following command:

$ gem install smashing

This command will download and install Smashing on your Clear Linux Latest instance.

Step 3: Create a New Smashing Project

After installing Smashing, you can create a new project using the smashing new command. For example, to create a project named my_dashboard, run the following command:

$ smashing new my_dashboard

This command will create a new directory named my_dashboard inside your current working directory. The directory will contain a basic Smashing dashboard project.

Step 4: Start the Smashing Server

To start the Smashing server, navigate to your project directory (my_dashboard in the previous step) and run the following command:

$ smashing start

This command will start the Smashing server on port 3030 by default. You can access the Smashing dashboard by visiting http://localhost:3030 in your web browser.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed Smashing on Clear Linux Latest and created a new Smashing dashboard project. Now, you can customize your dashboard by editing the .erb files in your project directory and adding new widgets to your dashboard. Happy dashboarding!
