How to Install Bitpoll on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Bitpoll on Fedora Server Latest. Bitpoll is an open-source, decentralized online voting system that is built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain.

Before we begin the installation, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

Step 1: Clone Bitpoll Repository

First, open a terminal window and clone Bitpoll repository from GitHub:

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, we need to install the necessary dependencies. Run the following command:

Step 3: Configure PostgreSQL

Create a new database and user for Bitpoll:

sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE bitpoll;"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER bitpoll WITH PASSWORD 'bitpoll';"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE bitpoll TO bitpoll;"

Step 4: Install Python Packages

Install required Python packages using pip:

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 5: Configure Bitpoll

Edit the configuration file:

nano config/bitpoll.ini

Update the following settings:

[SERVER]
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 5000
debug = False

[DATABASE]
user = bitpoll
password = bitpoll
database = bitpoll
host = localhost

[BITCOIN]
rpcuser = username
rpcpassword = password
rpcconnect = localhost
rpcport = 8332

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Start Bitpoll

Start Bitpoll using the following command:

python3 run.py
