How to Install Noisedash on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Noisedash, which is a web-based noise monitoring and management tool developed using Python, Flask, and Firebase. This tutorial is specifically designed for those running Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A server running Fedora Server Latest
• Access to the root user account or a non-root account with sudo privileges.
• Git version control system is installed on your system.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Noisedash requires several dependencies to be installed on your Fedora server. These dependencies include Python 3, Pip package manager, and other supporting tools. To install these dependencies, run the following command:

sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip python3-devel git

Once the dependencies have been installed, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Clone Noisedash Source Code

To clone the Noisedash repository, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/kaythomas0/noisedash.git

Once the Noisedash source code has been cloned to your local system, navigate to the directory using the command:

cd noisedash

Step 3: Install Python Packages

Next, we need to install the required Python packages for Noisedash to run correctly. To install these packages, run the following command:

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Create Firebase Account

Noisedash uses Firebase to store the noise data. You will need to create a Firebase account and a project to start using Noisedash. Go to https://console.firebase.google.com/ and create a new project by following the on-screen instructions.

Once the project has been created, navigate to Project Settings, and then click on the Service Accounts tab. Under the Firebase Admin SDK, click on Generate New Private Key. This step will download a JSON file containing your Firebase credentials.

Step 5: Add Firebase Credentials to Noisedash

Now that you have downloaded your Firebase credentials JSON file, you will need to add these credentials to the Noisedash application. To do this, navigate to the noisedash directory, and open the app.py file.

nano app.py

Under the config section, replace the firebase.json file with your downloaded JSON file's location.

config = {
    "apiKey": "xxxx",
    "authDomain": "xxxx.firebaseapp.com",
    "databaseURL": "https://xxxx.firebaseio.com",
    "projectId": "xxxx",
    "storageBucket": "xxxx.appspot.com",
    "messagingSenderId": "xxxx",
    "appId": "xxxx",
    "measurementId": "xxxx",
    "serviceAccount": "/path/to/your/firebase-credentials.json"
}

Once you have added the path to your Firebase credentials JSON file, save and exit the app.py file.

Step 6: Run Noisedash

To start the Noisedash application, run the following command:

python3 app.py

This command will start the Noisedash application, and you will be able to access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Noisedash on your Fedora server.
