In this tutorial, we will learn how to install yarn.social on Arch Linux. yarn.social is a decentralized social media platform that allows users to connect and share content with each other. It offers features such as direct messaging, group chats, and public feeds.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
yarn.social is built using Node.js, so we need to install it first. We can use the pacman package manager to install the latest version of Node.js:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
This will install Node.js and its package manager, npm.
Next, we need to install yarn, which is a faster and more reliable package manager than npm. We can install it using npm:
sudo npm install -g yarn
This will install yarn globally on your system.
Now, we need to clone the yarn.social repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/yarnsocial/yarn.git
This will create a new directory named yarn in your current working directory.
Change to the yarn directory:
cd yarn
Now, we need to install the dependencies for yarn.social. We can do this using yarn:
yarn install
This may take a few minutes, depending on your internet speed.
Once all the dependencies have been installed, we can start the development server using yarn:
yarn start
This will start the development server on port 3000.
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000. You should see the yarn.social login page.
You can now create a new account or log in to an existing account on yarn.social.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install yarn.social on Arch Linux. We installed Node.js, yarn, cloned the yarn.social repository, installed the dependencies, and started the development server to access yarn.social.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
