How to Install Coder on EndeavourOS Latest

Coder is an open-source cloud IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that allows developers to code from anywhere without the need for powerful hardware. In this tutorial, we will explore how to install Coder on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

• EndeavourOS Latest installed.
• A sudo user account for performing administrative tasks.

Step 1: Install Docker

Coder runs on Docker, so we need to first install Docker. Execute the following command to install Docker:

sudo pacman -S docker

Step 2: Install Git

In this step, we will install Git, which is necessary for cloning the Coder repository. To do so, enter the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Step 3: Install Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications, which is what Coder uses. To install Docker Compose, enter the following command:

sudo pacman -S docker-compose

Step 4: Clone the Coder Repository

Now, we will clone the Coder repository to our system. Use the following command:

git clone https://github.com/cdr/coder

This will clone the Coder repository.

Step 5: Create .env file

Before we proceed with the installation, we need to create a .env file. Navigate to the Coder directory and enter the following command to create it:

cd coder
cp .env.example .env 

Step 6: Install Coder

Finally, we’ll start installing Coder. To install Coder, execute the following command:

./coder.sh install

This process might take a while to complete, so be patient.

Step 7: Start Coder

Now that Coder has been installed, let's start it up. To do so, run the following command:

./coder.sh start

Coder should now be accessible by visiting http://localhost:8443 in your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we walked through how to install Coder on EndeavourOS Latest. Now that Coder is installed, you can begin coding from anywhere with ease. Happy coding!
