How to Install Orchest on Fedora Server Latest

Orchest is an open source platform for creating workflows, automating tasks, and managing projects. It's built to streamline the process of managing complex projects and reduce manual work. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Orchest on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation of Orchest, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

You have a running instance of Fedora Server Latest.
You have sudo access to the instance.
You have a stable internet connection.

Step 1 - Update the System

Before installing any software, it's essential to update the system to the latest packages. To do so, run the following command:

sudo dnf update

It will take some time to update the system, depending on your internet speed, and the number of packages that need to be updated.

Step 2 - Install Required Dependencies

The next step is to install the required dependencies that are needed for the smooth installation of Orchest. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

sudo dnf install -y curl git gcc-c++ make openssl-devel

Step 3 - Install Node.js

Orchest requires Node.js to work correctly. Fedora Server Latest doesn't come with Node.js pre-installed, so we need to install it manually. Follow the steps to install Node.js:

Add the Node.js repository to the system:
```
sudo dnf module enable nodejs:14
```
Install Node.js:
```
sudo dnf install -y nodejs
```
Verify the installation:
```
node --version
```
It should output the current version of Node.js installed.

Step 4 - Install Orchest

Finally, it's time to install Orchest on the system. Follow the steps:

Clone the Orchest repository:

git clone https://github.com/orchest/orchest.git

Once the cloning is done, navigate to the directory:
```
cd orchest
```
Install the required packages:
```
npm install
```
Now, start Orchest:
```
npm start
```
Orchest should start running at http://localhost:3000.
