How to Install Neko on EndeavourOS Latest

Neko is a lightweight CLI-based HTTP server that can help you test and debug your API and web applications. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Neko on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following requirements:

  • EndeavourOS Latest installed on your system.
  • A terminal emulator installed (such as GNOME Terminal, Konsole or Terminator).

Steps

Step 1: Update the system

Before we begin the installation process, let’s first update our system to ensure that we have the latest software packages available. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install required dependencies

Neko requires a few dependencies to function correctly. We can install these dependencies by issuing the following command:

sudo pacman -S git make gcc

Step 3: Download Neko

Now that we have installed the necessary dependencies, let’s proceed to download Neko:

git clone https://github.com/m1k1o/neko.git

This command will clone the latest version of Neko from the official repository and create a new directory named neko in your current working directory.

Step 4: Build and Install Neko

Navigate into the neko directory that was just created:

cd neko

Then, issue the following command to build and install Neko:

sudo make install

This command will compile the source code and install Neko on your system.

Step 5: Verify Neko installation

To verify that Neko is installed correctly, you can run the following command:

neko -v

This will print the version of Neko. If you see the version printed, then Neko has been successfully installed.

Step 6: Testing Neko

Now that we have installed Neko, let’s test it by running a simple HTTP server using the following command:

neko -p 8000

This command will start an HTTP server on port 8000. You can verify that the server is running by opening your web browser and navigating to http://127.0.0.1:8000/. You should see a message indicating that the server is running.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Neko on EndeavourOS Latest and tested a simple HTTP server.

Conclusion

Neko is an excellent tool for testing and debugging API and web applications. You can use it to simulate a web server environment and test your application's behavior. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you should now have Neko installed and ready to use on your EndeavourOS Latest system.
