How to Install Tracks on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Tracks on Fedora Server Latest. Tracks is a web-based task management system built using Ruby on Rails, which allows you to manage and track your daily tasks.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that:

• You have access to the command-line interface of your Fedora Server.
• You have a user account with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies required by Tracks. Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo dnf install -y ruby ruby-devel rubygem-bundler sqlite-devel make gcc

This command installs Ruby, the Bundler gem, SQLite development libraries, Make, and GCC compilers.

Step 2: Download and Extract Tracks

Once the dependencies are installed, navigate to the /opt directory and download the latest version of Tracks from the official website using the following command:

cd /opt
sudo curl -L https://github.com/TracksApp/tracks/archive/v2.4.2.tar.gz -o tracks.tar.gz

Next, extract the downloaded archive with the following command:

sudo tar -xzf tracks.tar.gz

Step 3: Install Tracks Dependencies

After extracting the Tracks archive, navigate to the tracks-2.4.2 directory and install the required Gems using the following command:

cd tracks-2.4.2/
sudo bundle install

This command installs all the required Ruby gems and dependencies that Tracks needs to run properly.

Step 4: Generate Configuration Files

After installing the required dependencies, generate the configuration files. Run the following command:

sudo cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
sudo cp config/site.yml.example config/site.yml

This command generates the database.yml and site.yml configuration files using the provided examples.

Step 5: Create the Database

Once the configuration files are generated, create a new database for Tracks using the following command:

sudo RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
sudo RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:seed

This command creates a new database and runs the required migrations.

Step 6: Start the Tracks Server

Finally, start the Tracks server using the following command:

sudo RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails server -e production -b 0.0.0.0

This command starts the Tracks server and listens on all available IP addresses. You can now access Tracks by opening your web browser and navigating to http://<your_server_ip>:3000.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tracks on Fedora Server Latest. You can now start using it to manage and track your daily tasks.
