Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation of KeystoneJS, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • Manjaro installed on your system

Step 1 - Install MongoDB

The first step in installing KeystoneJS is to install MongoDB. MongoDB is a NoSQL database that KeystoneJS uses to store data. To install MongoDB on Manjaro, execute the following command in your terminal:

Once MongoDB is installed and running, you can proceed with the installation of KeystoneJS. To install KeystoneJS, execute the following command in your terminal:

npm install -g generator-keystone

This command will install the KeystoneJS generator globally on your system.

Step 3 - Create a New KeystoneJS Project

After the KeystoneJS generator is installed, you can use it to create a new KeystoneJS project. To create a new project, execute the following command:

yo keystone

This command will start the KeystoneJS generator and prompt you for the details of your new project. Follow the prompts to configure your project settings.

Step 4 - Start the KeystoneJS Server

Once your project is configured, you can start the KeystoneJS server by executing the following command:

npm start

This command will start the KeystoneJS server and you should see the output "KeystoneJS is running on http://localhost:3000" in your terminal.

Step 5 - Access Your KeystoneJS Project

You can now access your KeystoneJS project by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000. This will take you to the homepage of your KeystoneJS project.
