How to Install Saleor on FreeBSD Latest

In this tutorial, we'll be walking you through the process of installing Saleor on FreeBSD Latest operating system. Saleor is an open-source e-commerce platform, built with Python and Django, that lets you create online stores with ease. It provides powerful functionality for managing orders, products, customer data, and payments.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, you'll need to ensure that the following requirements are met:

• A FreeBSD Latest server with SSH access
• Python 3.x installed
• pip package manager
• Postgres database server

Step 1: Clone Saleor

The first step is to clone the Saleor repository. To do this, connect to your FreeBSD server via SSH and execute the following command in your preferred terminal:

git clone https://github.com/mirumee/saleor.git

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

After cloning the repository, navigate into the saleor directory using the following command:

cd saleor

Saleor requires several dependencies to be installed before it can function properly. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This command will install all the necessary Python packages required for Saleor.

Step 3: Create a PostgreSQL Database

Next, we'll create a PostgreSQL database for our Saleor application. To do this, you'll need to connect to your PostgreSQL instance and execute the following SQL command:

CREATE DATABASE saleor;

This command will create a new database named "saleor".

Step 4: Configure Saleor

Now that we've installed all the required dependencies and created a new database, we need to configure Saleor.

Copy the saleor/settings/local.py.example file to saleor/settings/local.py with the following command:

cp saleor/settings/local.py.example saleor/settings/local.py

Next, open the saleor/settings/local.py file with your desired text editor and update the DATABASES section with the following:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'saleor',
        'USER': '<your_postgres_username>',
        'PASSWORD': '<your_postgres_password>',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432'
    }
}

Be sure to replace <your_postgres_username> and <your_postgres_password> with the actual PostgreSQL username and password that you want to use to connect to the database.

Step 5: Run Database Migrations

With the database configured, we need to run the database migrations to create the necessary tables. Run the following command:

python manage.py migrate

This command will create all the tables required for Saleor.

Step 6: Create a Superuser

To manage the Saleor store, you'll need to create a superuser. Run the following command:

python manage.py createsuperuser

This command will prompt you to enter a username, email address, and password for the superuser.

Step 7: Collect Static Files

The final step is to collect the static files. Run the following command:

python manage.py collectstatic

This command will copy all the static files to the appropriate location.

Step 8: Run the Saleor Development Server

You're now ready to run the Saleor development server! Start the development server with this command:

python manage.py runserver

You can then access the Saleor application in your web browser by navigating to the following URL:

http://localhost:8000/

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Saleor on FreeBSD Latest. You can now customize its features and start building your online store.
