How to Install Indico on Clear Linux Latest

Indico is an open-source event management software that is used to organize conferences, workshops, and meetings. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Indico on Clear Linux Latest.

Before we get started, ensure that you have a Clear Linux Latest installed on your server, and you have root access to it.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before we install Indico, we need to install some dependencies, including PostgreSQL, Python3, and virtualenv. In Clear Linux Latest, you can install these dependencies using the following commands:

sudo swupd bundle-add python3 python3-basic dev-utils devpkg-postgresql
sudo pip3 install virtualenv

Once these dependencies are installed, we can proceed with the Indico installation.

Step 2: Create a Virtual Environment

The next step is to create a virtual environment for Indico. This ensures that we don't install Indico system-wide, which can cause conflicts with other software on the server.

To create a virtual environment, run the following command:

virtualenv -p python3 indicoenv

This command creates a new directory indicoenv that contains a new Python environment.

Step 3: Install Indico

Now that we have created a virtual environment, let's install Indico inside it. Run the following commands to activate the environment and install Indico:

source indicoenv/bin/activate
pip install indico

This command installs Indico and its dependencies in the virtual environment.

Step 4: Initialize Database

Before we can use Indico, we need to set up the PostgreSQL database that Indico uses to store its data.

First, create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Indico:

sudo su - postgres
createuser indico
createdb indico -O indico
exit

Next, we need to initialize the database schema for Indico. Run the following command to initialize the database:

indico db prepare

This command creates the necessary tables and schema in the PostgreSQL database.

Step 5: Start Indico

Finally, we can start Indico using the following command:

indico run

This command starts the Indico server, which should now be accessible at http://localhost:8000.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have now installed Indico on Clear Linux Latest. You should now be able to use Indico to manage events and meetings on your server.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
