How to Install Frab on Clear Linux Latest

Frab is an open-source conference management system used to organize and manage events like conferences, workshops, and other similar events. It makes organizing and managing events easy and efficient due to its feature-rich, customizable interface.

In this tutorial, we are going to provide a step-by-step guide on how to install Frab on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed with the installation process, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• A Clear Linux Latest installation.
• An SSH client like OpenSSH or PuTTY installed.
• Basic command-line knowledge.

Step 1: Install the Required Dependencies

Ensure your Clear Linux packages are up-to-date by running the following command:

$ sudo swupd update

Once the Clear Linux packages are up-to-date, install the required dependencies by running the following command:

$ sudo swupd bundle-add ruby-basic
$ sudo swupd bundle-add sqlite3
$ sudo swupd bundle-add git

Step 2: Install the Frab Source Code

Next, we need to clone the Frab source code repository from GitHub by running the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/frab/frab.git

Once the cloning process is completed, navigate to the project directory by running the command below:

$ cd frab

Step 3: Install Bundler and the Required Gems

We now need to install Bundler and the required Ruby gems. Run the following command to install these dependencies:

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install

Step 4: Configure the Application

Frab requires a configuration file to be set up before it can run correctly. A sample database configuration file has been provided that needs to be customized to your needs. Copy the config/database.yml.sample to config/database.yml with the below command:

$ cp config/database.yml.sample config/database.yml

Make sure you update the config/database.yml file with the right database configuration for your setup.

Step 5: Migrate the Database

Once the database configuration is done, we need to migrate the database schema by running the following command:

$ rake db:migrate

Step 6: Starting the Application

Finally, we need to start the Frab application. Run the command below to start it:

$ rails server

Frab should now be accessible by visiting the URL http://localhost:3000/ from a web browser.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have now successfully installed and configured Frab on Clear Linux Latest. Use the newly installed tool to manage and organize conferences, workshops, and any other event you may have.
