Tracim is a collaborative content manager designed for organizing, creating and sharing knowledge. It is an open source and free software that offers a variety of features to manage documents and notes. In this tutorial, we will discuss the steps to install Tracim on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before starting the installation of Tracim, it is recommended to update the system to the latest version to ensure that all packages are up-to-date. Open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update the system.
Next, we will install the required dependencies for Tracim. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo pacman -S libjpeg-turbo postgresql redis certbot certbot-apache
This command will install the necessary dependencies.
Tracim is a Python-based application, and it requires some Python packages to work. We will install these packages using the pip package manager. Enter the following commands in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S python-pip python-setuptools
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
sudo pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tracim/tracim/master/requirements.txt
These commands will install the Python dependencies required by Tracim.
Finally, we will install Tracim using pip. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo pip install git+https://github.com/tracim/tracim.git
This command will install Tracim on your system.
Once Tracim is installed, we need to configure it to work correctly. First, we need to create a database for Tracim. Open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo -u postgres psql
This command will open the PostgreSQL shell. Now, create a new database for Tracim by entering the following command:
CREATE DATABASE tracim;
After creating the database, we need to create a user for Tracim to access the database. Execute the following command in the PostgreSQL shell:
CREATE USER tracim WITH PASSWORD 'password';
Replace 'password' with a strong password for the Tracim user.
Now, we need to give privileges to the Tracim user so that it can access the database. Execute the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE tracim TO tracim;
Exit the PostgreSQL shell by entering the following command:
\q
We have successfully installed and configured Tracim. Now, we can run it using the following command:
tracim-ctl start
This command will start the Tracim service. To stop the service, use the following command:
tracim-ctl stop
In this tutorial, we have discussed the steps to install Tracim on EndeavourOS Latest. We have also explained how to configure and run Tracim. With Tracim, you can easily manage and organize your documents and notes.
