Calagator is an open-source event aggregator platform, which is used for finding conferences and events around the world. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Calagator on FreeBSD Latest.
Before starting the installation process, it is important to ensure that your system has the following prerequisites:
The first step in installing Calagator is to install Git and Ruby. These are important tools that need to be installed on your system. You can install Git and Ruby by running the following command:
$ sudo pkg install git ruby26
Once Git and Ruby are installed, you can go ahead and clone the Calagator repository to your FreeBSD system. To do that, run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/calagator/calagator.git
Now that you have the Calagator repository cloned to your system, the next step is to install the required Ruby gems. You can install them by running the following command inside the cloned repository:
$ cd calagator
$ bundle install --without=production
Before starting Calagator, you need to configure the database. Calagator supports SQLite3, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases. In this tutorial, we will show how to configure SQLite3.
First, create the database file by running the following command:
$ touch db/calagator-development.sqlite3
Next, migrate the database schema by running the following command:
$ bundle exec rake db:migrate
After configuring the database, you can go ahead and start the Calagator server by running the following command:
$ rails server
You should see the following output:
=> Booting Puma
=> Rails 5.2.3 application starting in development
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
