In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install Our Shopping List on OpenSUSE. Our Shopping List is an open-source shopping list application written in Python and built on top of the Flask web framework.
Before we get started with the installation process, you will need the following:
To run Our Shopping List, we need to install certain dependencies such as Python, pip, and Git. You can install them by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo zypper install git python3 python3-pip
This command will install the required packages, including Git, Python 3, and pip.
After all dependencies are set up, we will clone the Our Shopping List repository from GitHub. You can use the following command to clone the repository into a directory named "our-shopping-list":
git clone https://github.com/nanawel/our-shopping-list.git our-shopping-list
Now that we have cloned Our Shopping List, we will set up a Python virtual environment to install the required modules separately from the system installation.
Change your present working directory to the "our-shopping-list" directory:
cd our-shopping-list
Then, create a new Python3 virtual environment using the following command.
python3 -m venv venv
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command.
source venv/bin/activate
We need to install the required Python packages for Our Shopping List to run. You can use the Pip package manager to do so:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all the necessary packages and modules required for Our Shopping List to run.
Our Shopping List uses SQLite as its database management system. To set up the database, use the following commands:
mkdir instance
cd instance
sqlite3 our-shopping_list.db < ../database/schema.sql
This will create a new instance directory and a our-shopping_list.db file, which will be used by the application as the database.
Now that the database is set up, we can run the application on our local machine using the following command:
export FLASK_APP=our_shopping_list
export FLASK_ENV=development
flask run
You should see an output message which will indicate that the application has started running on your machine.
* Serving Flask app "our_shopping_list"
* Environment: development
* Debug mode: on
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and run Our Shopping List on OpenSUSE! You can access the application by using a web browser and navigating to http://127.0.0.1:5000/.
In this tutorial, we have covered how to install Our Shopping List on OpenSUSE. By following these steps, you can easily set up the application and start managing your shopping lists with ease.
