ActiveWorkflow is an open-source management and automation platform that helps developers create and manage workflows for their applications. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of ActiveWorkflow on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before you proceed with the installation, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
To run ActiveWorkflow on OpenSUSE, you need to install some dependencies. Run the following command in the terminal to install them:
sudo zypper install -y make gcc-c++ postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib postgresql-devel libpqxx-devel libpqxx5 libxml2 libxslt libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
Next, you need to clone the ActiveWorkflow repository from GitHub. Change to the directory where you want to store the repository and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/automaticmode/active_workflow.git
ActiveWorkflow uses PostgreSQL as its database. Follow the below mentioned steps to configure the database:

Answer the prompts to create a new user with a password.
createdb -O active_workflow active_workflow
export DATABASE_URL=postgres://active_workflow:<YOUR_PASSWORD>@localhost/active_workflow
You can now build and run ActiveWorkflow using Docker. Change into the root directory of the cloned repository and run the following command:
