In this tutorial, you will learn how to install PropertyWebBuilder on MXLinux Latest. PropertyWebBuilder is a free and open-source software that allows you to create a professional real estate website. It comes with various features such as property listings, advanced search filters, and a customizable design.
Before you begin, make sure your MXLinux is up-to-date, and you have sudo privileges. So, let's get started.
Before installing PropertyWebBuilder, we need to install some dependencies on MXLinux. Open the terminal and update the package lists:
sudo apt update
Now install the dependencies required for PropertyWebBuilder:
sudo apt install python3 python3-dev python3-pip libpq-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev gcc
Once the dependencies are installed, we can install PropertyWebBuilder. Open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pip3 install propertywebbuilder
This will download and install PropertyWebBuilder and all its dependencies.
PropertyWebBuilder requires a PostgreSQL database to store property listings and other data. You can install PostgreSQL on MXLinux by running the following command:
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
Once installed, create a new PostgreSQL database for PropertyWebBuilder. Run the following command to access the PostgreSQL command-line interface:
sudo -u postgres psql
Now, create a new user and database for PropertyWebBuilder:
CREATE USER propertywebbuilder WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE DATABASE propertywebbuilder;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE propertywebbuilder TO propertywebbuilder;
Replace 'password' with a strong password for the new user.
Now we need to configure PropertyWebBuilder to connect to the PostgreSQL database. Create a new configuration file using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/propertywebbuilder.cfg
Add the following lines to the configuration file, replacing the values with your own:
DATABASE_URI = postgresql://propertywebbuilder:password@localhost/propertywebbuilder
SECRET_KEY = <your_secret_key>
Replace 'password' and '
Finally, we need to create an admin user for PropertyWebBuilder to access the admin dashboard. Run the following command in the terminal, replacing 'username', 'password', and 'email' with your own values:
propertywebbuilder createadmin --email=email --password=password username
Now that everything is set up, we can start the PropertyWebBuilder server. Run the following command:
propertywebbuilder runserver --host=0.0.0.0
This command will start the server and make it accessible from any network device.
You can now access PropertyWebBuilder by opening a web browser and navigating to 'http://localhost:5000/'. You should see the PropertyWebBuilder homepage.
