How to install Misago on EndeavourOS

Misago is a modern, fully featured web application to create communities, forums, and Q&A sites. Installing Misago on your EndeavourOS system is a straightforward process, and in this tutorial, we will guide you through it step-by-step.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need a few things:

Step 1 - Install Required Package Dependencies

Misago requires several dependencies to run correctly. Install them by running the following command in your terminal.

sudo pacman -S python3 python3-pip python-virtualenv postgresql-libs postgresql

This command will also install virtualenv and postgresql, which are required to create a Python virtual environment and for Misago to work correctly.

Step 2 - Create a Postgres Database for Misago

Create a new PostgreSQL user and database for your Misago installation. You can do this using the following commands:

sudo -i -u postgres
createuser misago
createdb misago -O misago
exit

You can replace 'misago' with the desired username and database name.

Step 3 - Install Misago

Open a terminal and navigate to a directory where you want to store your Misago installation:

cd ~

Clone the Misago repository from Github:

git clone https://github.com/rafalp/Misago.git

Create a Python virtual environment for Misago:

cd Misago
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install Misago and all its dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Misago installation is now complete.

Step 4 - Configure Misago

Create a new configuration file for Misago:

cp misago/settings/local.py.example misago/settings/local.py

Edit misago/settings/local.py and update the database settings with your PostgreSQL database credentials:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'misago',
        'USER': 'misago',
        'PASSWORD': 'your_pg_password_here',
        'HOST': '',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

Replace the PASSWORD field with your PostgreSQL password.

Step 5 - Run Misago

Activate your Python virtual environment:

source venv/bin/activate

Run Misago's development server:

python manage.py runserver

Misago will now be running locally on your development server. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to access Misago.

That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Misago on your EndeavourOS system. Enjoy using Misago to create your community, forum or Q&A site.

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!
