How to Install Traduora on Linux Mint

Introduction

Traduora is a free and open-source web-based translation management system that enables you to manage your translations efficiently. It provides a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for users to manage and translate text. Traduora is based on Django, a Python-based web framework.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Traduora on Linux Mint.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need the following:

• A Linux Mint machine with sudo privileges
• Python 3.x installed on your machine
• A browser on your machine

Step 1: Update your system

Before installing any package, it is best to update your system to the latest version. Run the following command to update your system:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install Django

Traduora is based on Django, so you will need to install Django first. Run the following command to install Django using pip:

sudo pip3 install django

Step 3: Download Traduora

Now that we have installed Django, we can proceed to download Traduora. You can download the latest version of Traduora from the official website.

wget https://github.com/ThibaultVlacich/traduora/releases/download/v0.6.5/traduora-0.6.5.tar.gz

Step 4: Extract the Traduora file

Extract the downloaded Traduora file using the following command:

tar -zxvf traduora-0.6.5.tar.gz

This will extract the contents of the tar.gz archive to the current directory.

Step 5: Install Traduora

Now that we have extracted the files, we can run the following command to install Traduora:

cd traduora-0.6.5
sudo python3 setup.py install

Step 6: Create a superuser account

Next, we need to create a superuser account. This account will have administrative privileges and will be used to manage Traduora.

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

It will prompt you to enter your username, email address, and password.

Step 7: Migrate the database

Now, to migrate the database, run the following command:

python3 manage.py migrate

Step 8: Start Traduora

Finally, start the Traduora server by running the following command:

python3 manage.py runserver

You should now be able to access Traduora using your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000/. Log in with your superuser account to access the admin interface.
