How to Install Coral on Fedora Server Latest

Coral is an open-source collaboration software that helps publishers build better online communities. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Coral on a Fedora Server Latest operating system.

Prerequisites

Before installing Coral, ensure that the following requirements are met:

• A Fedora Server Latest installed and up-to-date.
• A non-root user with sudo privileges.
• A running MongoDB instance.

Step 1: Install Node.js

Coral is built on Node.js. Therefore, you must first install Node.js on your Fedora Server Latest. To install Node.js, run the following commands:

Step 2: Install Coral

To install Coral from https://coralproject.net/, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/coralproject/talk.git
cd talk
npm install

Then, you need to configure the Coral environment by creating the .env file. Run the following command to create the .env file:

cp .env.sample .env

Open the .env file with your preferred text editor and set the necessary environment variables. For example,

MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/talk

Where 27017 is the default MongoDB port and talk is the name of the database.

Step 3: Start Coral

After completing the installation and configuration, start Coral by running the following command:

npm start

This command will start the Coral server. To verify that the server is up and running, go to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
