How to Install Traduora on MX Linux Latest

Traduora is an open-source translation management system that allows you to manage your translation projects and collaborate with your team members. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Traduora on MX Linux Latest.

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing Traduora, make sure that your system is up-to-date. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This will update the package list and upgrade the existing packages to their latest versions.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Traduora requires some dependencies to run properly. Install the required dependencies by running the following command:

sudo apt install -y curl gnupg git make gcc zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libffi-dev postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev imagemagick

This command will install all the necessary dependencies for Traduora.

Step 3: Install Ruby

Traduora is built with Ruby on Rails. We need to install Ruby on our system to run Traduora. To install Ruby, we will use RVM. Run the following command to install RVM:

curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

This will install RVM along with Ruby on your system.

Step 4: Install Node.js and Yarn

Traduora also requires Node.js and Yarn to run properly. Install Node.js by running the following command:

sudo apt install -y nodejs

Next, install Yarn by running the following command:

curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y yarn

Step 5: Install Redis

Traduora uses Redis for caching and background jobs. Install Redis by running the following command:

sudo apt install -y redis-server

This will install Redis on your system.

Step 6: Install PostgreSQL

Traduora uses PostgreSQL as the database backend. Install PostgreSQL by running the following command:

sudo apt install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev

This command will install PostgreSQL and its required dependencies.

Step 7: Create a PostgreSQL User and Database

Create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Traduora. Execute the following commands:

sudo -u postgres createuser -s traduora
sudo -u postgres createdb -O traduora traduora_production

These commands will create a new PostgreSQL user named "traduora" with superuser privileges and a new database named "traduora_production" owned by the user "traduora".

Step 8: Clone Traduora from GitHub

Clone the Traduora repository from GitHub by running the following command:

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

This command will clone the repository to your current working directory.

Step 9: Configure Traduora

Copy the example configuration file to the production configuration file by running the following command:

cd traduora
cp config/application.example.yml config/application.yml

Edit the "config/application.yml" file and configure the database credentials and other settings:

production:
  database:
    adapter:  postgresql
    encoding: unicode
    database: traduora_production
    pool:     5
    username: traduora
    password: <your_database_password>
  secret_key_base: <your_secret_key>
  host: <your_host>
  smtp:
    address: <your_smtp_server>
    domain:  <your_domain>
    port:    <your_smtp_port>

Replace <your_database_password>, <your_secret_key>, <your_host>, <your_smtp_server>, <your_domain>, and <your_smtp_port> with the appropriate values. Save the file and exit.

Step 10: Install Gems and Setup Traduora

Now, install the required Gems and setup Traduora by running the following commands:

gem install bundler -v 1.17.2
bundle install --without development test
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379 bundle exec rake assets:precompile
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake traduora:setup

These commands will install the required Gems, migrate the database, precompile the assets, and set up Traduora.

Step 11: Run Traduora

Finally, start the Traduora application using the following command:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails server -b 0.0.0.0 -p 3000

This command will start the Traduora server on port 3000, accessible from any IP address.
