Installing django-todo on Arch Linux

In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps of installing django-todo on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your Arch Linux system
• pip package installer for Python 3.x

Steps

1. Start by opening a terminal window on your Arch Linux system.

2. Install django-todo's dependencies by running

sudo pacman -S python python-pip python-virtualenv nginx

3. Create a virtual environment for django-todo:

python -m venv env && source env/bin/activate

4. Install django-todo using pip:

pip install django-todo

5. Now, let’s create a project that will use django-todo:

django-admin startproject todo_project

6. Make sure django-todo is included in your project's INSTALLED_APPS. Open todo_project/settings.py and add 'todo' to the INSTALLED_APPS list:

# todo_project/settings.py
...
INSTALLED_APPS = [
  ... # other apps
  'todo',
]
...

7. Create a new database table for django-todo:

python manage.py migrate

8. Setting up the URLS for django-todo

Add the following URLS to the urls.py file in the main project directory

# todo_project/urls.py
from django.urls import include

urlpatterns = [
  ... # other url patterns
  path('todo/', include('todo.urls')),
]

9. Test that everything has worked by starting the development server

python manage.py runserver

10. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000/todo/ to confirm that django-todo has been installed and is working correctly.

You have now installed django-todo on Arch Linux. Happy coding!
