Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:

  • A Fedora Server Latest installation

Step 1: Update System

It is very important to run the latest packages and updates to ensure smooth installation.

To update your system, run the following command:

Step 2: Install Node.js

Trudesk is built using Node.js. Therefore, we need to install Node.js on our system.

sudo dnf install nodejs -y

Verify the Node.js installation by running the following command:

node -v

Trudesk uses MongoDB as its database, so we need to install it on our system.

To install MongoDB, run the following command:

sudo dnf install mongodb -y

Start the MongoDB service and set it to start automatically on boot:

sudo systemctl enable mongod
sudo systemctl start mongod

Verify the MongoDB installation by running the following command:

mongo --eval 'db.runCommand({ connectionStatus: 1 })'

Git is a version control system used to clone Trudesk. Install Git by running the following command:

sudo dnf install git -y

Checkout the stable branch for the version of Trudesk that you want to install:

git checkout tags/v1.0.0

Step 6: Install Dependencies

Trudesk has a lot of dependencies. To download and install them, run the following command in the trudesk directory:

sudo npm install

Step 7: Configure Trudesk

After the dependencies are installed, we need to set up the configurations for Trudesk.
