Django-wiki is a powerful wiki engine based on Django web framework. It allows you to create and manage wikis quickly and easily. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Django-wiki on Linux Mint Latest.
Before we begin, you need to have the following prerequisites:
It is always a good practice to work with Python virtual environments. To create a new virtual environment, open a terminal and navigate to your project directory. Then run the following command:
python3 -m venv env
This will create a new virtual environment named env in your project directory.
To activate the virtual environment, run the following command:
source env/bin/activate
This will activate the virtual environment, and you can see (env) in your command prompt.
Next, you need to clone the Django-wiki repository to your machine. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/django-wiki/django-wiki.git
This will clone the repository to your current working directory.
Before you can install Django-wiki, you need to install its dependencies. To do this, navigate to the cloned repository directory and run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the required dependencies.
To initialize the Django app, run the following commands:
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
The first command will create the necessary tables in the database, and the second command will create a superuser account for you.
Finally, you can run the Django app using the following command:
python manage.py runserver
This will start the server, and you can access the Django-wiki at http://localhost:8000.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Django-wiki on Linux Mint Latest. Now you can create and manage your wikis with ease. Good luck!
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!
