How to install Memos on EndeavourOS Latest?

Memos is a self-hosted note-taking application that provides you with a simple and powerful way to organize your notes. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Memos on your EndeavourOS latest system.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, make sure your system satisfies the following conditions:

EndeavourOS latest version installed
sudo privileges for the user
Git installed

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Memos requires a few dependencies to function correctly. Open the terminal on your EndeavourOS system and run the following commands to install the required dependencies:

sudo pacman -S nodejs npm

Step 2: Clone the Memos Repository

The next step is to clone the Memos repository from the GitHub repository. Run the following command in the terminal to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos.git

Step 3: Install Memos

Now that we have cloned the repository let's proceed with the installation process. Navigate to the Memos directory that we just cloned by running the following command in your terminal:

cd memos

Once you are in the Memos directory, install the required dependencies by running the following command:

npm install

Next, build the application by running the following command:

npm run build

Step 4: Configure Memos

After the installation process, we need to configure Memos. To do so, create a config.json file in the root directory and add the following configuration:

{
  "database": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": "5432",
    "username": "<YOUR_USERNAME>",
    "password": "<YOUR_PASSWORD>",
    "database": "memos"
  },
  "session": {
    "secret": "<SESSION_SECRET>",
    "maxAge": 86400000
  },
  "port": 3000
}

Replace the <YOUR_USERNAME> and <YOUR_PASSWORD> with your PostgreSQL database credentials. Also, replace the <SESSION_SECRET> with a secure string.

Step 5: Start the Memos Application

The last step is to start the Memos application. Run the following command in your terminal to start the application:

npm start

Once the application is up and running, you can access it by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.

That's it! You have successfully installed Memos on your EndeavourOS system.
