Spree Commerce is an open-source e-commerce solution built using the Ruby on Rails framework. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Spree Commerce on a Fedora Server.
Begin by updating your Fedora Server and installing the necessary dependencies:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install git gcc openssl-devel readline-devel zlib-devel postgresql-devel
Spree Commerce requires Ruby 2.5.3 or higher. We will use RVM (Ruby Version Manager) to install Ruby.
Start by installing GnuPG and curl:
sudo dnf install gnupg curl
Then, retrieve the installation script from the RVM website:
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
After the installation is complete, activate RVM:
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
Next, install Ruby 2.6.3 or higher:
rvm install 2.6.3
Verify that the correct version of Ruby is installed by running:
ruby -v
First, clone the Spree Commerce repository:
git clone git://github.com/spree/spree.git
Navigate to the Spree Commerce directory:
cd spree
Checkout the latest stable version:
git checkout 4-2-stable
Install the necessary gems:
bundle install
Create the database:
bundle exec rails db:create
Run the database migrations:
bundle exec rails db:migrate
Finally, start the Spree Commerce server:
bundle exec rails server
You should now be able to access Spree Commerce by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Spree Commerce on your Fedora Server.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
