django-todo is a fully-featured open-source todo list and task manager web application written in Python and Django. It is a great tool to manage your tasks and schedule them efficiently. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing django-todo on your Elementary OS latest system.
Before installing django-todo, you must have the following prerequisites on your system:
You can install Python 3 and pip using the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
To install virtualenv, use the following command:
sudo pip3 install virtualenv
Lastly, to install Git, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
The first step is to create a new virtual environment for the django-todo project. A virtual environment is a self-contained Python environment that allows you to install packages and dependencies for specific projects without interfering with the system's packages.
To create a new virtual environment, run the following command:
cd ~
mkdir todo
cd todo
virtualenv env
This will create a new directory called todo and a virtual environment inside it called env.
To activate the virtual environment, run the following command:
source env/bin/activate
You will notice that your terminal prompt has changed to indicate that you are now using a virtual environment.
The next step is to clone the django-todo repository from GitHub by using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/shacker/django-todo.git
This will clone the repository into a new directory called django-todo.
After cloning the repository, navigate to the newly created django-todo directory and install the required dependencies using the following command:
cd django-todo
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the dependencies required for django-todo.
Next step is to create a database for django-todo. Do this by running the following command:
python manage.py migrate
This will create the necessary tables in the database.
To access the django-todo admin panel, you need to create a superuser account. Run the following command to create one:
python manage.py createsuperuser
You will be prompted to enter a username, email address, and password for the superuser account.
The last step is to start the django-todo server. This can be done by running the following command:
python manage.py runserver
You should now be able to access the django-todo application by navigating to http://127.0.0.1:8000/todo in your web browser.
You have now successfully installed django-todo on your Elementary OS latest system. You can now use it to manage your tasks and schedule them efficiently.
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!
