The SilverBullet is implemented using a JavaScript runtime called Deno which is a lot like node.js, just... you know, better. And we like better.
To run SilverBullet directly on your host system (so not in a Install/Docker container), you need to install Deno 1.40 or later:
curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh
After having installed Deno, run:
deno install -f --name silverbullet --unstable-kv --unstable-worker-options -A https://get.silverbullet.md
You only have to do this once. This will download the currently released version of SilverBullet onto your machine.
This command will install silverbullet into your ~/.deno/bin folder (which should already be in your $PATH if you followed the Deno install instructions).
While you have Install/Configuration, the most straightforward way is to simply use a folder on disk.
After creating a folder, run the following command in your terminal:
silverbullet <pages-path>
By default, SilverBullet will bind to port 3000; to use a different port, use the -p flag (e.g. -p8080).
For security reasons, by default, SilverBullet only allows connections via localhost (or 127.0.0.1). To also allow connections from the network, pass a -L0.0.0.0 flag (0.0.0.0 for all connections, or insert a specific address to limit the host), combined with --user username:password to add simple Authentication.
Once downloaded and booted, SilverBullet will print out a URL to open in your browser.
Upgrading
SilverBullet is regularly updated. To get the latest and greatest, simply run:
silverbullet upgrade
And restart SilverBullet. You should be good to go.
