How to install Django-wiki on Debian Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Django-wiki on Debian Latest.

1. Update system packages

Before installing anything new, it is recommended to update your system packages to avoid running into compatibility issues. Use the following commands to update your system packages:

sudo apt update

2. Install required dependencies

Django-wiki has a few dependencies that need to be installed first. Use the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

sudo apt install python3-dev python3-venv python3-pip libpq-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev

3. Create a virtual environment

It is recommended to create a virtual environment to isolate the installation and prevent any potential conflicts with other packages or system dependencies.

python3 -m venv wiki_env

4. Activate virtual environment

Activate the virtual environment before installing Django-wiki.

source wiki_env/bin/activate

5. Install Django-wiki

Next, you can install Django-wiki using pip in the virtual environment.

pip install django-wiki

6. Configure your Django-wiki project

After installing Django-wiki, you need to configure a new project. To create a new Django-wiki project, use the following command:

django-admin startproject mywiki

7. Prepare the database

Before starting the server, create the database tables.

cd mywiki
python manage.py migrate

8. Start the server
