How to Install Spree Commerce on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to install Spree Commerce on NetBSD operating system.

Prerequisites

Before we start, we need to ensure that the following packages are installed on the NetBSD system:

• Ruby 2.4+
• Git

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

First, we need to install some necessary dependencies to configure Spree Commerce on the NetBSD machine.

Run the following command to install dependencies:

sudo pkgin install gcc gmake sqlite3 nodejs npm qt5

Step 2: Install RVM

Next, we will install Ruby Version Manager (RVM) to install and manage different versions of Ruby on our system.

Run the following command to install RVM:

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

Once installation is complete, reload the shell to load RVM.

source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

Step 3: Install Ruby

Now, we can install Ruby 2.4+ using RVM. Run the following command to install it:

rvm install 2.4.0

Step 4: Install Bundler

Bundler is a Ruby gem that helps us manage gems for our project. Run the following command to install Bundler:

gem install bundler

Step 5: Download Spree Commerce

We can now download the Spree Commerce project from the official website or GitHub repository.

To download it using git, run the following command:

git clone git://github.com/spree/spree.git

Once the download is complete, change the directory to the Spree Commerce folder:

cd spree

Step 6: Install Spree Commerce

Now we will use the Bundler gem to install all the required gems for Spree Commerce. Run the following command:

bundle install

This command will install all the required gems for Spree Commerce.

Step 7: Create Spree Commerce Database

Before starting the Spree Commerce server, we need to create a database. Run the following command:

bundle exec rake db:create

This command will create a database for our Spree Commerce project.

Step 8: Run Migrations

Now, we have to run migrations to create and update the database schema. Run the following command:

bundle exec rake db:migrate

Once the migration has completed, you are ready to start the Spree Commerce server.

Step 9: Start Spree Commerce Server

To start the Spree Commerce server, run the following command:

rails s

Your Spree Commerce application is now running on http://localhost:3000/.
