In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Saleor on Fedora Server using step-by-step instructions.
Saleor is a modern, open-source eCommerce platform that is built on Python, Django, and GraphQL. It features a powerful admin interface, customizable checkout process, and is optimized for high traffic and sales.
Before you begin, you should have the following:
To start, it's a good idea to update your system packages to ensure that you have the latest security updates and bug fixes. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Saleor requires a number of dependencies to be installed on your server. Run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install python3 python3-devel python3-pip python3-wheel gcc libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel zlib-devel -y
It's best to install Saleor in its own virtual environment to avoid conflicts with other Python packages installed on your system. To create a new virtual environment, run the following command:
sudo python3 -m venv /opt/saleor
Activate the virtual environment by running:
source /opt/saleor/bin/activate
Now that your virtual environment is activated, you can install Saleor and its dependencies. Run the following command:
pip3 install saleor
Saleor comes with a default configuration file that you can use as a starting point. Copy the default configuration file to your project directory by running the following command:
cp /opt/saleor/lib/python3.9/site-packages/saleor/saleor/settings.py /opt/saleor/saleor_settings.py
Next, you will need to edit your configuration file to match your server setup. Open the configuration file in your preferred text editor.
nano /opt/saleor/saleor_settings.py
You will need to modify the following settings:
ALLOWED_HOSTS
: Add your domain name here.DATABASES
: Configure your database connection settings.TIME_ZONE
: Set your server's time zone.DEFAULT_CURRENCY
: Set your store's default currency.Once you have finished editing the configuration file, save and close it.
You will need to create a Django superuser to be able to access the Saleor admin interface. Run the following command, and provide a username, email address, and password when prompted.
python3 /opt/saleor/lib/python3.9/site-packages/saleor/manage.py createsuperuser
Your Saleor installation is now ready to run. Start the server by running the following command:
python3 /opt/saleor/lib/python3.9/site-packages/saleor/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
You should now be able to access the Saleor admin interface by visiting http://your-domain.com:8000/dashboard/
in your web browser.
