Prerequisites

The following prerequisites are necessary before proceeding:

A Fedora Server Latest VPS or dedicated server
A non-root user with sudo privileges
Basic knowledge of the command-line interface

Step 1: Update your system

To update your system, run the following commands:

Step 2: Install required dependencies

Oddworks requires the following dependencies to work:

Step 3: Clone Oddworks repository

Clone the Oddworks repository to your local directory using the following command:

Step 4: Configure Redis

Before we can start Oddworks, we need to configure Redis. To do that, open the Redis configuration file using your preferred text editor:

sudo vi /etc/redis.conf

In the file, search for the following line:

# bind 127.0.0.1

Uncomment the line by removing the '#' at the beginning, and change the IP address to your server IP. It should look something like this:

bind 192.168.1.100

Save and exit the file.

Step 5: Start Redis

To start Redis, run the following command:

sudo systemctl start redis

You can check if Redis is running by typing:

systemctl status redis

Step 6: Install Oddworks dependencies

Navigate to the Oddworks folder:

cd core

And install the dependencies using:

npm install

Oddworks uses environment variables to configure different settings. You can create a .env file and set the variables there. Here's an example:

PORT=8080
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PORT=6379

Save the file.

Step 8: Start Oddworks

To start Oddworks, run the following command:
