Gatsby.js is a modern React-based framework that allows developers to build fast and secure static websites and applications. This guide will walk you through the steps to install Gatsby.js on Ubuntu 22.04.

Step 1: Update the System

Start by updating your system to ensure that all packages are up-to-date. Run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Node.js and npm

Gatsby.js requires Node.js, a JavaScript runtime environment. Install Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) with the following commands:

sudo apt install nodejs npm

Verify the installation by checking the versions of Node.js and npm:

node -v

npm -v

Step 3: Install Gatsby CLI

The Gatsby Command Line Interface (CLI) helps you create and manage Gatsby projects. Install the Gatsby CLI globally using npm:

sudo npm install -g gatsby-cli

Step 4: Create a New Gatsby Project

Once Gatsby CLI is installed, you can create a new Gatsby project by running the following command:

gatsby new my-gatsby-site

Navigate to the project directory:

cd my-gatsby-site

Step 5: Start the Gatsby Development Server

To view your Gatsby site, start the development server using the following command:

gatsby develop

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000 to see your Gatsby site in action.

Step 6: Build for Production

Once you've finished developing your site, you can build it for production by running:

gatsby build

This will generate static files in the public directory that you can deploy to your web server.
