How to Install Klaus on Manjaro

Klaus is a popular web-based git viewer that allows you to explore your git repositories via a web interface. It's easy to set up and use, and provides a simple way to visualize your git history.

In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Klaus on your Manjaro Linux system.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, ensure that you have installed the following packages on your system:

Step 1: Clone the Klaus Repository

First, navigate to the directory where you want to install Klaus. Then, clone the Klaus repository from GitHub:

$ git clone https://github.com/jonashaag/klaus.git

This will create a new folder called klaus in your current working directory.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, navigate into the klaus directory and install the required dependencies using pip:

$ cd klaus
$ sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 3: Run Klaus

Once the dependencies are installed, you can now run Klaus on your system. Execute the following command to start Klaus:

$ python3 -m klaus --port=8080 --host=localhost /path/to/git/repo

This command will start Klaus on port 8080 and bind it to the localhost interface. Replace /path/to/git/repo with the path to the git repository that you want to view using Klaus.

Step 4: Access Klaus

Now that Klaus is up and running, you can access it by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/

This will display the Klaus interface, and you can use it to explore your git repository.

Conclusion
