Calagator is an open-source software for event management and community calendars. It is built on Ruby on Rails and helps users easily create and manage events, organize meetings, and build community calendars. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Calagator on Linux Mint Latest.
Before starting with the installation process, you need to have the following:
Calagator requires Ruby on Rails to run. If you do not have Ruby on Rails installed on your system, run the following command to install it:

Calagator uses PostgreSQL as the database management system. You need to install it on your system to proceed with the installation process. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:

The next step is to setup the Calagator database. Run the following command to setup the database:
sudo rake db:create
