pyShelf is an open source web-based library management system software that helps to manage books, magazines, and other documents. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install pyShelf on NetBSD.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure that the following requirements are met:
Follow the below steps to install pyShelf on NetBSD:
You can clone the pyShelf repository by running the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/th3r00t/pyShelf.git
This will create a local copy of the repository in your current working directory.
$ cd pyShelf
This command will allow you to move into the pyShelf directory that you just cloned.
Before we proceed with the installation, we need to install its dependencies. We can do this by running the following command:
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
The above command will install all the dependencies required by pyShelf.
Next, copy the config_sample.py file to config.py and edit the config.py file to provide your own variables. For example, your config.py file might look like this:
DEBUG = True
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///books.db'
SECRET_KEY = FLKDJFADSLJFDSALKFJDSAFKJDSFKLJDFASLKJF
Make sure that you replace the SECRET_KEY value with a long, random string of characters.
After editing the configuration file, we need to initialize the database. This can be done by running the following command:
$ python3 db_init.py
This will create a new database in the location that was specified in the SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI variable in your config.py file.
Now that we have completed all the previous steps, we can run the application by executing the following command:
$ python3 app.py
This command will start the pyShelf application and make it available at http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed pyShelf on NetBSD.
