In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Tracim on MXLinux Latest. Tracim is an open-source platform that helps teams collaborate by providing a user-friendly interface to manage their documents, files, and projects.

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation process, please ensure you have the following:

Step 1: Updating and Upgrading

The first step is to update and upgrade the system before we install Tracim. Open the terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade -y 

Step 2: Installing Dependencies

Tracim requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. Run the following command in the terminal to install the required dependencies:

sudo apt install -y software-properties-common curl wget git openssl libssl-dev libffi-dev build-essential python3-dev zlib1g-dev 

Step 3: Installing Python

Tracim is built in Python, and therefore we need to install Python on our system. Run the following command in the terminal to install Python:

sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip 

Step 4: Installing PostgreSQL

Tracim uses PostgreSQL as its database. Therefore, we need to install PostgreSQL on our system. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:

sudo apt install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib 

Step 5: Creating a PostgreSQL Database

After installing PostgreSQL, we need to create a database and user for Tracim. Run the following commands to create a database and user:

sudo su - postgres 
createuser -P tracim 
createdb -O tracim tracim 
exit 

Step 6: Cloning Tracim from GitHub

Now we need to clone the Tracim source code from GitHub. Run the following command in the terminal to clone the Tracim repository:

git clone https://github.com/tracim/tracim.git 

Step 7: Creating a Virtual Environment

sudo apt install -y virtualenv 
cd tracim 
virtualenv environment 
source environment/bin/activate 

Step 8: Installing Tracim

With the virtual environment activated, we can now install Tracim and its dependencies. Run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

We need to create a configuration file for Tracim. Run the following command to copy the example configuration file to a new file:

cp tracim/development.ini.example tracim/development.ini 

Edit the tracim/development.ini file and add the following lines below the sqlalchemy.url line:

mail.host = localhost 
mail.port = 1025 
mail.username = 
mail.password = 

Step 10: Starting Tracim

With the configuration complete, we can now start Tracim. Run the following command in the terminal to start Tracim:

pserve tracim/development.ini --reload 

Step 11: Accessing Tracim

Tracim is now accessible on your system. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:6543/ to access Tracim.
