How to Install Klaus on Arch Linux

Klaus is a simple, easy-to-use web interface for Git repositories. It allows you to browse, inspect, and edit your Git repositories through a web browser.

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Klaus on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with this tutorial, you must have the following:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies for Klaus to work. Use the following command in the Terminal:

sudo pacman -S git python-pip python-flask pygments mercurial

This command will install Git, Python, Flask (Python web framework), Pygments (syntax highlighting tool), and Mercurial (version control system) on your system.

Step 2: Clone Klaus

Once the dependencies are installed, you need to clone Klaus's GitHub repository using the git command.

git clone https://github.com/jonashaag/klaus.git

This command will create a new directory named klaus in your current working directory with Klaus's source code.

Step 3: Install Klaus

In this step, you will use pip (Python package manager) to install Klaus. Navigate to the klaus directory and execute the following command:

sudo pip install .

This command will install Klaus and all its dependencies.

Step 4: Configure Klaus

After installing Klaus, you need to configure it to specify the repositories to serve. Create a new configuration file named klaus.cfg in the klaus directory and add the following lines to it:

# klaus.cfg

# Specify the path to your Git repositories
repos = /path/to/your/repositories/

Replace /path/to/your/repositories/ with the absolute path to the directory where your Git repositories are stored.

Step 5: Run Klaus

In this step, you will run Klaus using the Flask development server. Navigate to the klaus directory and execute the following command:

klaus --debug

This command will start the Flask development server and Klaus will now be accessible at http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Klaus on Arch Linux and configured it to serve your Git repositories through a web interface. You can now access and manage your Git repositories using Klaus in any modern web browser.
