How to Install Saleor on Elementary OS Latest

In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Saleor on Elementary OS using the terminal. Saleor is an open-source e-commerce platform, built on Python and Django, that allows you to create online stores.


Prerequisites


Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Saleor requires some dependencies to be installed before it can be used. To install the required dependencies, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv build-essential libpq-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev

Step 2: Create a Python Virtual Environment

It is recommended to use a Python virtual environment for the installation of Saleor. A virtual environment allows you to install a specific version of a package without affecting the system's packages.

To create a virtual environment, run the following command:

python3 -m venv saleor

This will create a new directory named 'saleor', which contains the virtual environment.

Step 3: Activate the Virtual Environment

To activate the virtual environment, run the following command:

source saleor/bin/activate

This will activate the virtual environment, and you will see the name of the virtual environment in the terminal.

Step 4: Install Saleor

Now that the virtual environment is active, we can install Saleor:

pip3 install wheel setuptools
pip3 install saleor==3.5.2

This will install Saleor version 3.5.2.

Step 5: Initialize the Database

Before starting the Saleor server, you need to initialize the database. Run the following command to create the necessary tables:

saleor migrate

Step 6: Load Sample Data (Optional)

If you want to load some sample data to test Saleor, run the following command:

saleor loaddata demo.json

Step 7: Start the Saleor Server

To start the Saleor server, run the following command:

saleor runserver

This will start the server, and you can access the Saleor admin dashboard by visiting http://127.0.0.1:8000/dashboard/ and the storefront by visiting http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
