Kanbana is a Kanban board application built with Vue.js and Laravel. In this tutorial, we will look at how to install Kanbana on Void Linux using GitHub repo.

Prerequisites

Before we install Kanbana, make sure you have the following:

  • A user account with sudo access.
  • Git installed on your system.
  • PHP 7.3 or newer installed on your system.
  • Composer installed on your system.
  • MySQL or MariaDB installed and configured.

Step 1: Clone the Kanbana Repository

First, we need to clone the Kanbana repository from GitHub onto your computer. Use the following command to clone the Kanbana repository:

git clone https://github.com/SrGMC/kanbana.git

Step 2: Install Dependencies

After cloning the repository, navigate to the kanbana directory:

cd kanbana

Next, run the following command to install Kanbana's dependencies:

composer install

This process may take a few minutes to complete.

Step 3: Create the Environment File

Next, we need to create a new environment file for Kanbana. Copy the .env.example file to .env using the following command:

cp .env.example .env

Next, open the .env file in your preferred text editor and update the environment variables with your own details. Make sure to update the DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD variables with your own MySQL/MariaDB database details.

Step 4: Generate Application Key

Next, we need to generate the application key for Kanbana. Run the following command to generate new keys:

php artisan key:generate

Step 5: Run Migration

Now, we need to run the database migration to create the Kanbana database tables. Run the following command to migrate your database:

php artisan migrate

Step 6: Start the Server

Finally, we can start the Kanbana server. Run the following command in the kanbana directory:

php artisan serve

You should see output similar to the following:

Laravel development server started: <http://127.0.0.1:8000>

By default, the server will listen on port 8000. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your preferred web browser to access Kanbana!
