How to Install ClearFlask on OpenSUSE

ClearFlask is a powerful open-source platform for hosting user feedback discussions. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install ClearFlask on the latest version of OpenSUSE.

We'll assume that you have a running instance of OpenSUSE and that you have the necessary privileges to install packages.

Step 1: Install Python and Pip

ClearFlask requires Python 3.6 or later, so the first step is to ensure that you have a version of Python that meets the requirement.

To install Python on OpenSUSE, run the following command:

sudo zypper install python3

Next, we need to install Pip. Pip is a package manager for Python that allows you to install and manage Python packages.

To install Pip on OpenSUSE, run the following command:

sudo zypper install python3-pip

Step 2: Install ClearFlask

Now that we have Python and Pip installed, we're ready to install ClearFlask.

We can install ClearFlask by running the following command:

sudo pip3 install clearflask

This will download and install ClearFlask along with its dependencies.

Step 3: Configure ClearFlask

After you've installed ClearFlask, you can start it by running the following command:

clearflask run

This will start a development server, which you can access by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000.

By default, ClearFlask will use an SQLite database, which is not suitable for production use. You should modify the configuration to use a more robust database like MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install ClearFlask on OpenSUSE. Once you have ClearFlask installed, you can start building a powerful feedback discussion platform for your users.
