Step 1: Install Node.js

Habitica requires Node.js to run. To install it, open a terminal and run the following command:

Step 5 (Optional): Configure Systemd to run Habitica

To run Habitica as a service, create a new systemd service unit:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/habitica.service

Add the following content to the file:

[Unit]

After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/habitica
ExecStart=/usr/bin/nodejs /path/to/habitica/index.js
