Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies for Traduora. Traduora requires Python3 and PostgreSQL, so we need to install them by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -Sy postgresql python

Step 2: Install Virtual Environment and PIP

Traduora requires Virtual Environment and PIP to be installed. We can install both by running the command below:

sudo pacman -Sy python-pip python-virtualenv

Step 3: Create and Activate Virtual Environment

The next step is to create and activate a Virtual Environment for Traduora. We will create a virtual environment named traduora using the following command:

Now, activate the virtual environment using the following command:

source traduora/bin/activate

Step 4: Download and Install Traduora

Clone the Traduora repository using the following command:

Now go to the Traduora directory using the cd command and install the requirements by running the command below:

pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

Step 5: Create Database for Traduora

Traduora requires a database to store its data. We can create a PostgreSQL database by running the following commands:

sudo su - postgres
createdb -O postgres traduora
exit

Step 6: Configure Traduora

The configuration file for Traduora is located at config/settings/development.py. Open the file in your preferred text editor and modify the DATABASES section to match your database configuration. The configuration should look like this:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'traduora',
        'USER': 'postgres',
        'PASSWORD': 'postgres',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

Step 7: Migrate Database

After configuring Traduora, we need to migrate the database schema to the database we created earlier. In the Traduora directory, run the following command:

python manage.py migrate

Step 8: Run the Traduora Server

Finally, we can start the Traduora server using the following command:

python manage.py runserver

The server will start running at http://127.0.0.1:8000. You can now access Traduora by opening the URL on your preferred web browser.
