Wagtail is a free and open-source Content Management System (CMS) written in Python. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Wagtail on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
Wagtail requires several dependencies to function properly. We can install them by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic web-app-server-flask
We can install Wagtail using pip, the Python package manager. First, we need to update the pip package:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
Then we can install Wagtail using pip:
python3 -m pip install wagtail
Now that we have installed Wagtail, we can create a new Wagtail project. Navigate to the directory where you want to create the project and run the following command:
wagtail start mysite
This will create a new Wagtail project named "mysite" in the current directory.
Now that we have created the project, we can run the development server to test it. Navigate to the project directory:
cd mysite
And run the development server:
python3 manage.py runserver
By default, the server runs on port 8000. You can access the development server by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wagtail on Clear Linux Latest and created a new Wagtail project. You can now start building your own CMS using Wagtail.
