How to Install Wakapi on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Wakapi on Fedora Server Latest. Wakapi is an open-source software for tracking coding project activity and analyzing it. It provides an API that can collect data from different coding platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

Prerequisites

Before you start installing Wakapi, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Fedora server latest
  • A non-root user with sudo privileges
  • A stable internet connection

Step 1: Update the System

The first step is to update your Fedora server system to make sure that it is up-to-date.

To do that, run the following command in the terminal:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Node.js

Wakapi requires Node.js to be installed on the system. If you don't have Node.js installed, run the following command to install the latest version:

sudo dnf install -y nodejs

To verify that Node.js is installed, run the following command:

node -v

If the command returns the Node.js version number, it means that Node.js is installed and working correctly.

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Wakapi uses MongoDB as its database. To install MongoDB, run the following command:

sudo dnf install -y mongodb-server

Next, start the MongoDB service and enable it to start at boot time:

sudo systemctl start mongod
sudo systemctl enable mongod

To verify that MongoDB is running, run the following command:

sudo systemctl status mongod

If the command displays the service as active, it means that MongoDB is running correctly.

Step 4: Install Wakapi

Now that Node.js and MongoDB are installed, we can proceed to install Wakapi.

  1. Clone Wakapi's Git repository:
git clone https://github.com/muety/wakapi.git
  1. Change directory to the cloned repository:
cd wakapi
  1. Install the required Node.js modules:
npm install
  1. Copy the sample configuration file:
cp config.sample.js config.js
  1. Edit the configuration file using your favorite editor:
nano config.js
  1. Modify the configuration file according to your needs. Here is an example of how to configure Wakapi to use MongoDB:
'use strict';

module.exports = {
  storage: {
    type: 'mongodb',
    url: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/wakapi',
  },
};
  1. Save and exit the configuration file.

Step 5: Start Wakapi

Finally, start Wakapi using the following command:

npm run start

If Wakapi starts up without any errors, you should see the following message:

Listening on http://localhost:3000/
