How to Install django-todo on EndeavourOS

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install django-todo on the latest version of EndeavourOS.

Step 1. Update the System

Before installing django-todo, it is important to update the system to ensure that all necessary packages are up-to-date. To do this, type the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2. Install Required Packages

To install django-todo, you first need to install some required packages. Open a terminal and type the following command:

sudo pacman -S python-pip python-virtualenv sqlite

This command will install pip, virtualenv and SQLite on your system.

Step 3. Set Up a Virtual Environment

It’s good practice to work with Python projects in a virtual environment. To set up a virtual environment, follow these steps:

1. Create a directory for the virtual environment:

mkdir django-todo-app

2. Move into the directory:

cd django-todo-app

3. Create a virtual environment for the project:

python3 -m venv myenv

4. Activate the virtual environment:

source myenv/bin/activate

Now you should see (myenv) at the beginning of your command prompt.

Step 4. Install django-todo

With the virtual environment set up, you can now install django-todo. To install it, simply run this command:

pip install django-todo

This may take a few minutes to complete.

Step 5. Create a New Django Project

Next, create a new Django project using the following command:

django-admin startproject mytodo

This command creates a new directory named mytodo.

Step 6. Create a Django App

With the Django project created, create a new Django app using the following command:

python manage.py startapp mytodolist

This will create a new app called mytodolist.

Step 7. Configure The Database

By default, Django uses an SQLite database. To configure the database, open mytodo/settings.py, find the DATABASES section, and update the configuration as follows:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
    }
}

Step 8. Configure Django-Todo

Open mytodo/settings.py and add 'todo' to the INSTALLED_APPS section.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'todo',
]

Step 9. Migrations

To create the necessary database tables for django-todo, run the following command:

python manage.py migrate

Step 10. Run the Server

Finally, start the development server with this command:

python manage.py runserver

You should now be able to access your django-todo instance by visiting http://localhost:8000/todo/ in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed django-todo on EndeavourOS! You can now use django-todo to manage your to-do lists.

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!
