How to Install Traduora on Elementary OS Latest

Traduora is a powerful and flexible open-source translation management system that helps developers and translators manage translations for their projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Traduora on Elementary OS Latest.

Prerequisites

You should have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• Basic knowledge of using the terminal
• Access to an Elementary OS Latest system with sudo privileges

Step 1: Update System Packages

Before installing any software, it's important to update the system packages to their latest versions. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This command will refresh the package lists and upgrade the system packages to their latest versions.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Traduora is built on top of Django and requires some additional packages to work correctly. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev libpq-dev postgresql postgresql-contrib build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-setuptools -y

This command will install Python 3 with pip, PostgreSQL, and required development libraries for building Python packages.

Step 3: Create PostgreSQL Database

Traduora requires a PostgreSQL database. To create the database, run the following commands:

sudo -u postgres psql

This command will open the PostgreSQL prompt.

CREATE DATABASE traduora;
CREATE USER traduorauser WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE traduora TO traduorauser;
\q

These commands will create a new database named "traduora," create a user named "traduorauser" with the password "password," and grant all privileges to the user on the "traduora" database.

Step 4: Install Traduora

Traduora can be installed using pip. Run the following command to install Traduora:

sudo pip3 install traduora

This command will install the latest version of Traduora.

Step 5: Configuration

Traduora requires some configuration to work correctly. To configure Traduora, run the following commands:

traduora init

This command will create a new configuration file in the current directory. Open the configuration file with your favorite text editor:

nano ./.env

Update the following parameters in the file:

SECRET_KEY=<your secret key>
ALLOWED_HOSTS=<your domain or IP address>
DATABASE_URL=psql://traduorauser:password@localhost/traduora

Replace <your secret key> with a secret key of your choice. Replace <your domain or IP address> with your domain name or IP address.

Step 6: Apply Migrations

After updating the configuration file, apply the migrations by running the following command:

traduora migrate

This command will create the necessary database tables for Traduora to run.

Step 7: Creating an Admin User

Finally, create an admin user by running the following command:

traduora createsuperuser

This command will prompt you for a username, email address and password.

Step 8: Run Traduora

Now all you have to do is run Traduora using the following command:

traduora runserver

This command will start the development server. You can now access Traduora by visiting your domain name or IP address in your web browser.

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Traduora on Elementary OS Latest.
