How to Install Asciiflow on Manjaro

Asciiflow is a simple but powerful tool that allows you to create ASCII art and diagrams directly in your browser. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Asciiflow on your Manjaro Linux system.

Prerequisites

Before we get started with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A Manjaro Linux system running on your device
• A working internet connection

Step 1: Install Git

Since we'll be using Git to download the Asciiflow repository, we first need to install Git on our Manjaro system. Open up a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Enter your password when prompted, and wait for the installation to complete.

Step 2: Clone the Asciiflow Repository

Once Git is installed, we can clone the Asciiflow repository to our local system. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the repository and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/lewish/asciiflow2.git

Git will download the repository files to your local directory.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Asciiflow has a few dependencies that we need to install before we can run the app. Navigate to the Asciiflow directory and run the following command:

cd asciiflow2
sudo pacman -S npm
npm install

This will install the necessary dependencies for Asciiflow to run.

Step 4: Start Asciiflow

Once the installation is complete, we can start up Asciiflow. Run the following command in the Asciiflow directory:

npm start

This will start a local development server and launch Asciiflow in your default web browser.

Conclusion
