In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Hitobito on Manjaro.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Follow the steps below to install Hitobito:
Step 1: Install dependencies
Hitobito requires Ruby version 2.3 or higher. You can check the Ruby version installed on your system with the following command:
ruby --version
If Ruby is not installed on your system, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S ruby
Next, install the required dependencies by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S nodejs yarn postgresql imagemagick
Step 2: Install Git
Git is a version control system that is used to manage Hitobito's source code. You can install Git by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
Step 3: Clone the Hitobito repository
Clone the Hitobito repository to your local machine with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/hitobito/hitobito.git
Step 4: Install gems
Navigate to the cloned folder and run the following command to install the required gems:
bundle install --path vendor/bundle
Step 5: Setup the database
Create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Hitobito:
sudo -iu postgres
createuser hitobito --pwprompt
createdb -O hitobito hitobito_dev
createdb -O hitobito hitobito_test
Then, run the following command to setup the database schema:
bundle exec rake db:migrate
Step 6: Start the server
Finally, to start the Hitobito server, run the following command:
bundle exec rails server
Visit http://localhost:3000 in your web browser to access the Hitobito application.
