How to Install Posio on Arch Linux

Posio is a web application that maintains a list of your current positions in the world. It uses your device's GPS to determine your location, and then saves that information for future use. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Posio on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 1: Clone the Repository

First, we need to clone the Posio repository from GitHub. Use the following command to do so:

git clone https://github.com/abrenaut/posio.git

This will create a new directory called posio in your current working directory.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Posio uses several dependencies that need to be installed before we can run it. Use the following command to install these dependencies:

sudo pacman -S python python-flask python-requests python-requests-cache

Step 3: Run Posio

Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we can run Posio. Navigate to the posio directory that was created when we cloned the repository, and run the following command:

python posio.py

This will start the Posio application on your system. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and run Posio on your Arch Linux system. Now you have a way to keep track of your current positions in the world.
