How to Install OSEM on EndeavourOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will explain how to install OSEM on EndeavourOS Latest. OSEM is an open-source event management platform that allows event organizers to create and manage conferences, workshops, and other events. OSEM is written in Ruby on Rails, and it is compatible with multiple operating systems.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you need to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

• You have installed EndeavourOS Latest.
• You have administrative access to your system.
• You have a stable internet connection.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies required to install OSEM on your system. Open the terminal on your EndeavourOS Latest system and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git postgresql imagemagick

Step 2: Install RVM

RVM, or Ruby Version Manager, is a tool that allows you to install and manage multiple Ruby environments on your system. To install RVM on your system, run the following command:

curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Once the installation is complete, you need to source the RVM script to enable its functionality on your system. Run the following command:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Step 3: Clone OSEM from GitHub

Next, you need to clone the OSEM repository from GitHub onto your system. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/openSUSE/osem.git

Step 4: Install Ruby and Bundler

OSEM requires Ruby 2.2 or higher to function correctly. To install Ruby on your system, run the following command:

rvm install 2.6.3

Once Ruby is installed, you need to install Bundler, which is a package manager that is used to manage Ruby gems. Run the following command:

gem install bundler

Step 5: Install OSEM Dependencies

To install the dependencies required by OSEM, navigate to the cloned repository directory and run the following command:

cd osem
bundle install --without development test

Step 6: Configure PostgreSQL

OSEM requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. To configure PostgreSQL on your system, run the following command:

sudo -u postgres createuser -P osem
sudo -u postgres createdb -O osem osem_production

Step 7: Configure OSEM

Next, you need to configure the OSEM application. Navigate to the osem/config directory and copy the database.yml.example file to database.yml using the following command:

cd config
cp database.yml.example database.yml

Open the database.yml file using your preferred text editor and modify the following lines in the production section:

username: osem
password: [your_database_password_here]

Step 8: Compile Assets

OSEM requires JavaScript and CSS assets to function correctly. To compile assets, run the following command:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Step 9: Start the OSEM Server

Finally, to start the OSEM server, run the following command:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails server

The OSEM server should now be accessible using your web browser on http://localhost:3000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OSEM on your EndeavourOS Latest system. You can now start using OSEM to create and manage events.
