Kallithea is a source code management system that can be used for version control of codebase. It is an open-source software that supports a range of version control systems, including Git, Mercurial, and Subversion. In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to install Kallitea on Arch Linux.
Before installing any new packages, it is essential to update the package database and system to ensure that you have the latest version of packages that you need. Run the following command to update your system.
$ sudo pacman -Syu
To install Kallitea on Arch Linux, we need to install the required packages. Run the following command to install the required packages.
$ sudo pacman -S python-pip python-virtualenv
It's always recommended to isolate Python packages using a virtual environment to avoid any conflicts. Create a virtual environment using the following command:
$ virtualenv --python=python2 kallithea
This will create a virtual environment named kallithea with Python2.
Activate the virtual environment
$ cd kallithea
$ source bin/activate
To install Kallitea, use the following command:
$ pip install Kallithea
Once Kallithea is installed successfully, you can configure it by running the configuration command:
$ paster make-config Kallithea production.ini

This will start Kallithea on the default port 8080. You can access Kallithea by going to http://localhost:8080 in your favorite web browser.
You have successfully installed Kallitea on Arch Linux. You can now use Kallithea for source code management and version control.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
