Tolgee is an open-source translation management web application that helps developers and translators to automate, manage and streamline the localization process. In this tutorial, we will guide you through installing Tolgee on Linux Mint Latest.
Before starting, make sure your Linux Mint is up-to-date.
To install Tolgee, Node.js is required. If you already have Node.js installed, you can skip this step.
To install Node.js, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs
You can verify the installation by running:
node --version
Next, install Yarn, a package manager that Tolgee uses to manage its dependencies. You can install Yarn by running the following command:
sudo npm install -g yarn
Clone the Tolgee repository to your local machine using Git:
git clone https://github.com/tolgee/tolgee.git
Switch to the Tolgee directory:
cd tolgee
Before running Tolgee, we need to install its dependencies. You can do this by running the following command:
yarn
After installing the dependencies, copy the configuration file example:
cp .env.example .env
Open the .env file and configure the database connection settings.
For example, if you want to use a SQLite database, set the following values:
DATABASE_CLIENT=sqlite3
DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING=database/sqlite3.sql
You can find more information about configuration options in the Tolgee's documentation.
After configuring Tolgee, we can start it by running the following command:
yarn dev
This will start the Tolgee server and make it available at http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tolgee on Linux Mint Latest. Now you can start using it to manage translation projects.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
