Steps to Install Oddworks on MXLinux Latest

Step 1: Update the Package Repository

Before we begin, make sure to update the package repository to the latest version. Open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo apt update

Step 2: Install Node.js

Oddworks is built on Node.js, a server-side JavaScript runtime environment. So, we need to install Node.js on our system. Type the following command to install Node.js:

sudo apt install nodejs

Step 3: Install Git

Git is a version control system that is used to manage code. We need Git to download and install Oddworks. Type the following command to install Git:

sudo apt install git

Step 4: Clone the Oddworks Core Repository

Now that we have installed Node.js and Git, we can clone the Oddworks Core repository. Open the terminal and type the following command:

git clone https://gitlab.com/oddnetworks/oddworks/core.git

This will download the Oddworks Core repository to your system.

Step 5: Install Dependencies

Oddworks Core has several dependencies that we need to install. Navigate to the cloned repository by typing the following command:

cd core

Then, run the following command to install the dependencies:

npm install

This may take a few minutes to complete.

Step 6: Configure the Environment Variables

Oddworks uses environment variables to configure the application. We need to create a .env file in the root directory of the repository and add the following environment variables:

NODE_ENV=development
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_REGION=YOUR_REGION
AWS_S3_BUCKET=YOUR_S3_BUCKET_NAME

Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID, YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, YOUR_REGION, and YOUR_S3_BUCKET_NAME with your own values.

Step 7: Start the Server

We're now ready to start the Oddworks server. Type the following command:

npm start

If everything is installed and configured correctly, you should see the following message:

Listening on http://0.0.0.0:9000/
