How to Install Django-Wiki on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Django-Wiki on Fedora Server latest version.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, please ensure that you have:

• A Fedora Server installed and configured.
• Python 2.7 or higher.
• pip installed.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Django-Wiki requires some dependencies to be installed before installation. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo dnf install python2-devel python2-pip python2-setuptools python2-wheel python2-pillow \
   python2-django python2-dateutil python2-docutils python2-jinja2 \
   python2-unidecode python2-six python2-misaka python2-pygments

This will install all the required packages.

Step 2: Install Django-Wiki

1. Start by checking out the Django-Wiki source code from GitHub. Clone the repository with the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/django-wiki/django-wiki.git
   

2. Go to the cloned directory:

   cd django-wiki
   

3. Install Django-Wiki:

   sudo python2 setup.py install
   

Step 3: Configure the Database

Django-Wiki requires a database, so you need to configure it before using Django-Wiki.

1. Create a new database, and user with privileges:

   mysql -u root -p
   
   mysql> CREATE DATABASE django_wiki;
   mysql> GRANT ALL ON django_wiki.* TO django_wiki_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
   mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   mysql> \q
   

2. Go to the Django-wiki directory:

   cd django-wiki
   

3. Open the 'settings.py' file:

   nano django_wiki/settings.py
   

4. Edit the database settings by changing the following lines:

   DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
           'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
       }
   }
   

   Replace with:

   DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
           'NAME': 'django_wiki',
           'USER': 'django_wiki_user',
           'PASSWORD': 'password',
           'HOST': 'localhost',
           'PORT': ''
       }
   }
   

5. Save and exit the file.

Step 4: Run Django-Wiki

1. Start the server:

   sudo python2 manage.py runserver
   

2. Visit http://localhost:8000/ in your web browser to see the Django-Wiki homepage.
