Spree Commerce is an open-source e-commerce platform built with Ruby on Rails. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Spree Commerce on MXLinux Latest using the command line.
Before we can install Spree Commerce, we need to install some dependencies. Open up the terminal and type in the following commands:
sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev libsqlite3-dev
Next, we need to install RVM (Ruby Version Manager) to manage our Ruby environment. Run the following command to install RVM:
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
After the installation completes, reload your terminal profile by typing:
source ~/.bashrc
And then verify the installation by typing:
rvm -v
Bundler is a Ruby gem that manages your application's dependencies. Run the following command to install Bundler:
gem install bundler
Clone the Spree Commerce repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/spree/spree.git
This will create a folder named spree in your current directory.
Go to the spree directory and run the following commands:
cd spree/
bundle install
bundle exec rails g spree:install
The bundle install command installs all the required gems, and the bundle exec rails g spree:install command runs the Spree Commerce installation generator. This will install the required databases, create initializers, migrations, and seed data.
To start Spree Commerce, run the following command:
bundle exec rails s
Once the server starts running, open up a web browser and go to http://localhost:3000. You should see the Spree Commerce homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Spree Commerce on MXLinux Latest. You can now customize and configure it to suit your needs.
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!
