Download Nextweb

Install it

Nextweb keeps everything in the folder it runs from, so give it a folder of its own:

$ mkdir nextweb-tour
$ cd nextweb-tour
$ curl -fsSL https://get.nextwebjs.com | bash
$ ./nextweb

To read the script first, leave off | bash and curl prints it. The script doesn't use sudo.

What you need

• A Linux x64 computer with a web browser. Use your own desktop or laptop, because the site you deploy opens on that machine.
• A terminal with curl, which most Linux systems already have.
• An internet connection. Nextweb downloads itself and the software it installs, and it checks its license each time it starts.
• An email address. Nextweb asks for one the first time it starts, so it can issue your free license.

Windows

In Command Prompt, on Windows x64. The download is about 82 MB. The installer checks the file against the published manifest before it keeps it.

PHP, MariaDB, nginx, and the lessons are still Linux x64. This downloads the program. It does not install those packages.

FreeBSD

The same command as Linux, on FreeBSD x64. The download is about 57 MB.

PHP, MariaDB, nginx, and the lessons are still Linux x64.

Other platforms

macOS isn't available yet. There is a Linux arm64 build of the program, but no packages for it yet, so the lessons won't work there. The roadmap has the full list.

Free to try

The free license covers one machine and three sites, and there's no card to enter. When you need more, a Developer license covers five machines and ten sites.
