POMjs is a tool that provides a secure way of storing and managing passwords in your organization. In this tutorial, we will discuss the steps required to install POMjs on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A server running FreeBSD Latest version
• Root access to the server
• Node.js and npm installed on the server

Step 1: Download POMjs

To begin with, you need to download the POM build using the following command in your terminal:

Once the download is complete, navigate to the extracted directory.

$ tar -xzf pom.tar.gz
$ cd pom

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, you need to install the necessary dependencies for running POMjs

Step 3: Configure the Database

By default, POMjs uses SQLite as the database engine. You can modify the configuration file config.js located in the app directory to use other database engines such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.

SQLite

To use SQLite, run the following commands:

$ cd app
$ cp config.js.example config.js

Ensure that the database.sqlite file is created in the db directory and not in the POMjs directory.

MySQL or PostgreSQL

To use other database engines such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, modify the config.js file accordingly.

Finally, start POMjs using the following command:

$ node index.js

POMjs will now be accessible via http://localhost:3000 on your browser.
