git clone https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-back.git taiga-back
cd taiga-back
git checkout stable

Create a virtual environment and activate it:

python3 -m venv venv

git clone https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-front-dist.git taiga-front
cd taiga-front
git checkout stable

Install the required packages:

npm install

Step 6: Configure Taiga-Back

Configure Taiga-Back by editing the settings/local.py file. Run the following command:

nano /path/to/taiga-back/settings/local.py

Replace the following lines:

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

SECRET_KEY = 'your_secret_key'

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'taiga',

Create the database:

sudo su - postgres
psql
CREATE USER your_username WITH PASSWORD 'your_password';
CREATE DATABASE taiga OWNER your_username;
\q
exit

Apply the database migrations:

python manage.py migrate --noinput

Create a superuser:

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

Next, let's configure Taiga-Front. Edit the dist/conf.json file:

nano /path/to/taiga-front/dist/conf.json

Replace the following lines:

{
