Taiga is a project management tool, known for its feature-rich capabilities, flexible usage, and intuitive interface. It is open-source, free to use, and offers a wide range of functionalities to manage and track the progress of projects.
This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing Taiga on FreeBSD Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies required to run Taiga on your system. Open the command terminal and run the following command to update your system package repository:
pkg update
Next, install the required packages by running the following command:
pkg install python3 py36-virtualenv py36-pip py36-psycopg2 py36-pillow
Next, it is time to install Taiga. In this step, you will create a virtual environment, download Taiga, and configure Taiga to work with your system.
To create a new virtual environment, run the following command:
python3 -m venv taiga
Next, activate the virtual environment by running the command:
source taiga/bin/activate
Now, download the latest version of Taiga onto your system, and extract the files to the taiga directory that you created earlier.
wget https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-back/archive/stable.tar.gz -O taiga-back.tar.gz
tar xvf taiga-back.tar.gz -C taiga --strip-components=1
With the files in place, navigate to the settings/local.py file and modify the DATABASES settings to match your PostgreSQL settings.
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'taiga',
'USER': 'taiga',
'PASSWORD': 'password',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '',
}
}
Next, install the required dependencies to run Taiga by using pip.
cd taiga/
pip install -r requirements.txt
Once the dependencies are installed, run the migrations to create the database structure.
python3 manage.py migrate --noinput
Create a superuser by running the following command and following the prompts on the screen.
python3 manage.py createsuperuser
At this point, you have successfully installed Taiga on your FreeBSD system. To start the service, navigate to the taiga-back directory and activate the virtual environment.
cd ~/taiga
source taiga/bin/activate
Once activated, start the Taiga service by running the following command:
python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
The Taiga service should now be accessible by visiting http://your-server-address:8000.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the process of installing Taiga on FreeBSD Latest. From creating a virtual environment to installing dependencies and starting the Taiga service, we covered everything you need to know to get started with Taiga.
