In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install RecipeSage, a recipe management software, which is available on Github, on OpenSUSE latest operating system.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Open the terminal window and run the following command to install the dependencies required for RecipeSage:
sudo zypper install python3 python3-pip python3-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel zlib-devel gcc
This command will install Python 3, pip, development headers for libxml2, libxslt, and zlib, and GCC.
Next, navigate to the directory where you want to save the RecipeSage code. In this case, we will use the home directory.
cd ~
Clone the RecipeSage code from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/julianpoy/recipesage.git
This command will download the RecipeSage code to your home directory.
Navigate to the RecipeSage directory using the following command:
cd recipesage
Install the required Python dependencies using pip:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all the required dependencies from the requirements.txt file.
Before we start the RecipeSage application, we need to create a new database in PostgreSQL for RecipeSage. If you don't have PostgreSQL installed, you can install it using the command:
sudo zypper install postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-devel
After installing PostgreSQL, initialize the database cluster and start the PostgreSQL service using the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql
Now create a database user by running the following command:
sudo -u postgres createuser -P recipesage_user
It will prompt for the password for the new user. Enter a strong password and remember it, as we will use it later.
Next, create a new database for RecipeSage using the postgres user with the following command:
sudo -u postgres createdb -O recipesage_user recipesage
By default, RecipeSage looks for the PostgreSQL database at localhost:5432. If PostgreSQL is running on a different machine or port, we need to update the settings.py file.
Open the settings.py file with your favorite text editor:
nano recipesage/settings.py
Find the line that reads:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'recipesage',
'USER': 'recipesage_user',
'PASSWORD': 'recipesage_password',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
Update the USER and PASSWORD fields with the values you used when creating the database user in step 4.
The final step is to migrate the database. In the RecipeSage directory, run the following command to create the required tables in the database:
python3 manage.py migrate
This command should run without any errors.
Run the following command to start the RecipeSage development server:
python3 manage.py runserver
This will start the RecipeSage application at http://127.0.0.1:8000/. You can access it by opening a web browser and visiting that address.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured RecipeSage on OpenSUSE latest operating system.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
