A small FYI about Vendor Perl

As you might have noticed, LANraragi entirely depends on the Perl programming language. A version of Perl ships already compiled on most Linux distributions(and macOS). It's usually called "Vendor Perl".

Using vendor Perl is generally discouraged due to possible fuck-ups by the Linux distribution creator. As such, you might want to install LANraragi with your own compiled Perl, using a tool such as Perlbrew.

For information, my personal tests are done using Debian's vendor Perl.

Needed dependencies

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade -y
apt-get install build-essential make gnupg pkg-config \
cpanminus redis-server libarchive-dev imagemagick webp libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \
perlmagick ghostscript npm

Base software dependencies.

Installing LRR

All you need to do is clone the git repo somewhere (or download one of the releases) and run the installer. I recommend doing this with a brand new Linux user account. (I'm using "koyomi" here):

git clone -b master http://github.com/Difegue/LANraragi /home/koyomi/lanraragi
cd /home/koyomi/lanraragi && sudo npm run lanraragi-installer install-full

Note: Do not use sudo in the above command if you are using perlbrew.

Once this is done, you can get started by running npm start and opening http://localhost:3000.

To change the default port or add SSL support, see this page:

Updating

Getting all the files from the latest release and pasting them in the directory of the application should give you a painless update 95% of the time.

To be on the safe side, make sure to rerun the installer once this is done:

npm run lanraragi-installer install-full
