Bicimon is a web-based bicycling performance monitor that allows you to track your performance metrics while cycling. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Bicimon on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, kindly ensure that the following prerequisites are fulfilled:
To get started with the installation, we need to install the required packages. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf install git python3 python3-pip
This command installs ‘git’, ‘python3’, and ‘python3-pip’ packages.
Now, let’s clone the Bicimon repository. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo git clone https://github.com/knrdl/bicimon.git /var/www/html/bicimon
Navigate to the Bicimon directory by running the following command:
cd /var/www/html/bicimon/
Next, let’s install the required dependencies. Enter the following command:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command installs all the dependencies required to run Bicimon.
Bicimon requires some environment variables to be set up. Enter the following command to create a file:

Add the following lines to the file:
FLASK_APP=bicimon
FLASK_ENV=development
DATABASE_URL='sqlite:///'$(pwd)'/database/bicimon.sqlite'
SECRET_KEY=Replace_with_secret_key_of_your_choice
Save and close the file.
We need to create a database to store the metrics. Enter the following command:
sudo python3 db_create.py
This command creates the database ‘bicimon.sqlite’ required to run Bicimon.
Finally, let’s run Bicimon. We will start Bicimon using the following command:
sudo python3 run.py
Now, open a web browser and navigate to ‘http://localhost:5000’. You should see the Bicimon web interface.
