In this tutorial, I will briefly walk you through one of the many methods to self host n8n.
This targets people who use n8n on a personal basis and not for any clients.
Firstly, I followed the documentation, which is well put together.
All you do is:
Open the terminal
Run
npx n8n
After installation is done you should get a message in your terminal to open
http://localhost:5678/
That’s it !
Check the tutorial above for visual instructions on how to setup locally and for running your first workflow. I ran my JSON-LD generator workflow, which is a data structure that is needed to help you appear on AI Searches.
Happy Automations.
