Sure! Here is a tutorial for installing Vikunja on Elementary OS:
Vikunja is a to-do app that allows to manage your tasks, ideas, and notes in one place. This tutorial will show you how to install Vikunja on Elementary OS latest.
Before we begin with the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:
Vikunja requires Python 3.5+ and PostgreSQL 9.6+ to run. You can install them using the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-dev python3-pip postgresql-13 postgresql-client-13 postgresql-server-dev-13 libpq-dev
Next, we need to create a PostgreSQL database for Vikunja. To do this, run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo -u postgres createuser -P vikunjauser --interactive
sudo -u postgres createdb -O vikunjauser vikunja
You will be prompted to enter a password for the vikunjauser user. Choose a secure password and remember it.
Download the latest version of Vikunja using the following command:
wget https://dl.vikunja.io/main/latest/vikunja-linux-amd64.zip
Next, extract the downloaded ZIP file using the following command:
unzip vikunja-linux-amd64.zip
This will create a directory named vikunja in your current working directory.
Create a configuration file for Vikunja using the following command:
cp vikunja/config.toml.example vikunja/config.toml
Open the vikunja/config.toml file using your favorite text editor and make the following changes:
listen value to "127.0.0.1:3030" to bind the server to the loopback interface only.dsn value to "postgres://vikunjauser:password@localhost:5432/vikunja" where password is the password you set during database creation.To start Vikunja, navigate to the vikunja directory and run the following command:
./vikunja -migrate-up
This will start Vikunja and migrate the database to the latest version.
Once Vikunja is running, you can access it using a web browser by navigating to http://localhost:3030. You should see the Vikunja login page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Vikunja on Elementary OS latest. You can now use it to manage your tasks, ideas, and notes.
