Mayan EDMS is a free and open-source document management system that allows you to manage, store, and retrieve documents from a central location. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Mayan EDMS on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to update your system to the latest available updates. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update your system to the latest available packages. Once the update is complete, reboot your system.
After updating your system, you need to install some dependencies required for Mayan EDMS to run. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pacman -S git python python-pip python-setuptools redis
Next, clone the Mayan EDMS repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms.git
This command will create a new directory named "mayan-edms" in your current directory.
To install Mayan EDMS, change to the "mayan-edms" directory, and run the following command:
cd mayan-edms
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo python setup.py install
This command will install Mayan EDMS and its dependencies on your system. Once the installation is complete, run the following command to create a superuser account:
mayan-edms.py initialsetup
Follow the prompt to create a superuser account. This account will be used to log in to the Mayan EDMS web interface.
To start Mayan EDMS, run the following command:
mayan-edms.py runserver
This command will start the Mayan EDMS web interface on port 8000. Open your web browser and go to "http://localhost:8000" to access the Mayan EDMS login screen.
To make Mayan EDMS accessible from the internet, you need to configure a web server such as NGINX or Apache. Refer to the Mayan EDMS documentation for more information on how to configure your web server.
