GlitchTip is an open-source error tracking and monitoring tool that helps developers detect errors in their applications and track them. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install GlitchTip on MXLinux Latest.
Before you can install GlitchTip, you need to have the following:
GlitchTip is a Python-based web application, so you will need to install Python and Pip first. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip -y
This command will update the repository index and install Python and Pip.
Once you have installed Python and Pip, you can proceed to install GlitchTip by running the following command in the terminal:

This command will install GlitchTip and all its dependencies.
After installing GlitchTip, you need to configure it to work with your application. To do this, you need to create a GlitchTip configuration file called glitchtip.yml. You can create this file in any directory on your machine.
Open the glitchtip.yml file and add the following lines:
glitchtip:
api_key: <your_api_key>
environment: <your_environment>
Replace <your_api_key> with your GlitchTip API key and <your_environment> with the name of your application environment (e.g. production, staging, development).
Save and close the file.
To start GlitchTip, run the following command in the terminal:
glitchtip serve /path/to/your/glitchtip.yml
Replace /path/to/your/glitchtip.yml with the actual path to your glitchtip.yml file.
