Tracks is an open-source web-based application to help individuals and businesses manage their tasks and projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Tracks on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure you have the following:
The first thing you need to do is to install the required dependencies for Tracks. Open the terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu postgresql nodejs yarn
This command will install PostgreSQL, Node.js, and Yarn packages.
Once you have installed the required dependencies, the next step is to install Tracks. You can download Tracks from the official website: https://www.getontracks.org/.
After downloading the Tracks source code, extract the ZIP file to your desired location, then navigate to the extracted directory using:
cd /path/to/tracks
Before setting up the Tracks user interface, you'll need to configure PostgreSQL. Run the following command to create the Tracks database user:
sudo -u postgres createuser -D -P tracks
You will be prompted to enter a password for the user. Make sure to remember this password, as you will need it later.
Next, create a Tracks database:
sudo -u postgres createdb -O tracks tracks
Navigate to the extracted Tracks directory and install the required Yarn dependencies using:
cd /path/to/tracks
yarn install
To configure Tracks, copy the default configuration file:
cp config/default.js config/local.js
Edit the config/local.js file using your favorite editor to adjust the configuration as necessary. You'll need to modify the following lines:
config.database.username = "tracks";
config.database.password = "password";
Replace username with tracks, and password with the password you set for the database user.
Start the Tracks server by running the following command:
yarn start
You should see messages indicating the server has started successfully.
Visit http://localhost:3000 in your web browser to access the Tracks user interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tracks on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now start using Tracks to manage your tasks and projects.
