How to install Goeland on Manjaro

Goeland is an open source task manager built with Vue.js and Laravel. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Goeland on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Manjaro system.

• Git
• Composer
• Node.js
• MySQL

You can install Git, Composer and Node.js by running the following command in your terminal:

sudo pacman -S git composer nodejs

MySQL can be installed by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S mysql

Clone the Goeland repository

First, let's clone the Goeland repository from GitHub. Open the terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/slurdge/goeland.git

Install dependencies

After cloning the repository, change the directory to the project's root directory:

cd goeland

Now, install the PHP dependencies with composer:

composer install

After this, install the JavaScript dependencies with npm:

npm install

Configure the environment file

Goeland needs some environment variables to run. We will copy the example environment file and update the necessary values.

cp .env.example .env

Now, update these values in the .env file:

APP_URL=http://localhost:8000

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_database_name
DB_USERNAME=your_database_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_database_password

Generate an application key

Next, we need to generate an application key:

php artisan key:generate

Create the database

Now, let's create a new database for the Goeland application:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password and create a new database by running the SQL command:

CREATE DATABASE your_database_name;

Exit from the MySQL shell:

exit

Run database migrations

After creating the database, run the database migrations to create the necessary tables:

php artisan migrate

Compile assets

Finally, compile the JavaScript and CSS assets with Laravel Mix:

npm run production

Start the server

Congratulations! You are ready to start the Goeland application.

php artisan serve

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8000 to access the Goeland website.

That's it! You have successfully installed Goeland on Manjaro.
