Wagtail is a Python-based content management system that is easy to use and feature-rich. It is an ideal platform for creating and editing websites, including blogs, news sites, and online stores. In this tutorial, we will look at how you can install Wagtail on Debian Latest.
Before we start with the installation of Wagtail, ensure you have the following:
Before installing any packages on your system, update it to the latest version using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Wagtail can be installed using pip, the Python package manager. To install pip, run:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Once pip is installed, you can easily install Wagtail and its dependencies using the following command:
sudo pip3 install wagtail
After installing Wagtail, use the following command to create a new project:
wagtail start mysite
The above command creates a new Django project named "mysite" with the basic Wagtail components.
Wagtail uses a database to store website data. You can use the default SQLite database for simplicity, but it is recommended to use PostgreSQL or MySQL for production environments.
To use SQLite, navigate to the project's root directory and create a new database using the following command:
python3 manage.py migrate
Once the database is set up, start the development server by running the following command:
python3 manage.py runserver
This will start the Django development server, and you can access the site by visiting http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
We have looked at how you can install Wagtail on Debian Latest. You can now start building your website using Wagtail and take advantage of its powerful features. Happy coding!
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!
