How to Install Eqivo on Debian Latest

Eqivo is an open-source platform that helps organizations and teams to collaborate effectively by providing them with meaningful insights and data-driven solutions. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Eqivo on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation process, ensure that you have the following:

A Debian Latest installation or a Debian-based distro.
A root user or a user with sudo privileges.
An active Internet connection.

Step 1: Update and Upgrade Debian Packages

First, open your terminal and update your package list by executing the following command.

sudo apt update

Once the update is complete, upgrade your current packages to their latest versions by executing the following command.

sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Database Server

Before installing Eqivo, we need to install a database server. In this tutorial, we will install MySQL server. Run the following command to install MySQL.

sudo apt install mysql-server

During the installation, you will be prompted to set a root password for MySQL. Enter a strong password and keep it safe.

Step 3: Install Node.js

Eqivo requires Node.js to run. We will install Node.js from the official Debian repository.

Begin by adding the official repository using the following command.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo bash -

Once the repository is added, install Node.js using the following command.

sudo apt install nodejs

Verify the installation by checking the Node.js version.

node --version

Step 4: Install Eqivo

Now we are ready to install Eqivo. Run the following command to download Eqivo's latest binary package.

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/eqivo-releases/latest/eqivo-latest-amd64.deb

Next, install Eqivo using dpkg package installer.

sudo dpkg -i eqivo-latest-amd64.deb

During the installation process, you may see a warning about some dependencies that are not resolved. Ignore the warning as Eqivo’s install script will take care of it.

Step 5: Configure Eqivo

Once the installation is complete, we need to configure Eqivo to use the previously installed MySQL server.

Begin by editing the configuration file using the command:

sudo nano /etc/eqivo-server.yaml

Make the following changes in the file.

Replace the existing value of "database" with the following:

database:
  dialect: mysql
  host: 127.0.0.1
  port: 3306
  username: root
  password: YOUR_SECRET_PASSWORD
  database: eqivo

Replace "YOUR_SECRET_PASSWORD" with the MySQL root password you set in Step 2.

Step 6: Run Eqivo

We are now ready to start the Eqivo server.

Begin by starting the MySQL and Node.js services using the following commands.

sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl start node

Finally, start the Eqivo server using the following command.

sudo eqivo start

Once the server is running, you can access Eqivo by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
