Mealie is an open-source recipe database and meal planning software that allows users to easily organize and share their favorite recipes. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Mealie on Manjaro.
Before installing Mealie, we need to ensure that all the dependencies required for the installation are available on our system. To do so, open the terminal and enter the following command:
$ sudo pacman -S python python-pip postgresql-libs
This command will install the required dependencies on your system.
After installing the required dependencies, we can now install Mealie using the pip package manager. Enter the following command:
$ sudo pip install mealie
This command will install Mealie along with all the necessary dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, we need to configure Mealie before we can use it. To do so, open the terminal and enter the following command:
$ mealie setup
This command will prompt you to enter the database credentials required for Mealie. Provide the necessary details and follow the prompts to complete the configuration process.
After configuring Mealie, we can start the Mealie server using the following command:
$ mealie start
This command will start the Mealie server on your system.
Mealie is now up and running on your Manjaro system. To access it, open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:

This will open the Mealie interface in your web browser, where you can start adding and organizing your recipes.
