Arch Linux anyone?

[Netto Hikari]

Hey, NodeBB community!

This is my first post here. I just checked out your wiki and I wonder if there's any installation guide for self-hosting on Arch Linux? I don't have any experience with Node.js so far and I'd love to get started.

Would you guys help me out? A small step-by-step guide on how to accomplish a simple installation on Arch would be very nice.

The installation is no different than regular installation of NodeBB on any kind of Linux, IMHO. Maybe the first speedbump would be installing the NodeJS itself.

On Arch repository, the current version of NodeJS is v0.10.30, which is the latest version on the NodeJS website. So getting NodeJS on Arch would be as easy as pacman -S nodejs.

Next step would be getting a copy of NodeBB from the git, so you can start here

https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os/ubuntu.html

... and then just simply follow the rest of the guide.

For all dependencies (appropriates to ubuntu-guide):

pacman -S nodejs git redis imagemagick

(npm is included within nodejs)

After this like @aixnr says follow the ubuntu-guide beginning with git clone git://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb

Wait... isn't there an Arch guide already? Perhaps it's not pulled.

Ping @psychobunny, damianb added an Arch guide and was merged into nodebb-english, but I don't see it in the docs site...

Wow, thanks guys for the replies! I'll try it out after I had something to eat.
I'm very excited to try out NodeBB.

Yay, another German. And yes, we all love arch, don't we?
