Prerequisites

Before installing Misskey, you must have the following:

  • A Linux-based operating system (Fedora Server Latest)

To install Misskey on Fedora Server Latest, you must first download and install the necessary dependencies.

You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:

This command will install Git, C/C++ Compiler, make, OpenSSL development files, and MariaDB development files.

Once the installation process is complete, you can proceed to the next step.

Misskey requires a database to store all of its data, and MariaDB is one of the supported databases.

To download and configure MariaDB, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install MariaDB:
sudo dnf install mariadb-server
  1. Start MariaDB:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
  1. Secure MariaDB by running:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
  1. Create a new user and database:
sudo mariadb -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE misskey;
CREATE USER 'misskey'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON misskey.* TO 'misskey'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Make sure to replace password with your prefered password.

Step 3: Download and Install Misskey

After installing the necessary dependencies and configuring the database, you can now proceed with downloading and installing Misskey.

You can do this by following these steps:

  1. Clone the Misskey repository:
git clone https://github.com/syuilo/misskey.git
cd misskey
  1. Install Misskey dependencies:
yarn install
  1. Create a configuration file:
cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Edit the .env file according to your preferences.

For example, you can change the APP_NAME to your preferred name, set DB_URL to mysql://misskey:password@localhost/misskey, set ALLOW_ORIGIN to http://localhost:3000 for local development purposes.
