How to Install Rallly on Elementary OS Latest

Rallly is an open-source platform for scheduling meetings and making decisions with your team or group of friends. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Rallly on the latest version of Elementary OS.

Step 1: Update your system

Before we begin, it is important to ensure that your system is up to date. You can do this by opening the terminal and running the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This will update all the packages on your system to the latest versions.

Step 2: Install Node.js and npm

Rallly is built using Node.js, which means you need to have it installed on your system. We also need to install npm, which is a package manager for Node.js.

In the terminal, run the following command:

sudo apt install nodejs npm

This will install both Node.js and npm on your system.

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Rallly also requires MongoDB, which is a NoSQL database. You can install it by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt install mongodb

Once the installation is complete, start the MongoDB service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start mongodb

You can also enable MongoDB to start on boot with the following command:

sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Step 4: Download and Install Rallly

Now that we have all the prerequisites installed, we can download and install Rallly.

In the terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to install Rallly. For example, if you want to install it in your home directory, you can run:

cd ~

Next, download the latest version of Rallly from the official website:

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/Rallly/app/releases/latest \
| grep "browser_download_url.*app.zip" \
| cut -d : -f 2,3 \
| tr -d \" \
| wget -qi -

Extract the downloaded file by running the following command:

unzip Rallly-app.zip

This will create a directory named Rallly-app in your current directory.

Step 5: Start Rallly

Finally, we can start the Rallly server:

cd Rallly-app
npm install
npm start

This will start the Rallly server and you should see output in the terminal showing that it is up and running.

Step 6: Access Rallly

You can now access Rallly by opening your web browser and going to http://localhost:3000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rallly on your Elementary OS system.
