Solidus is an open-source eCommerce platform built on Ruby on Rails. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Solidus on OpenSUSE.
Before we begin, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
To install Ruby, PostgreSQL, Node.js, and Yarn on OpenSUSE, run the following command:
sudo zypper in ruby postgresql-server postgresql-devel nodejs yarn gcc-c++ make
This command will install the required dependencies for Solidus to run.
gem install bundler
bundle exec rails _<your_preferred_rails_version>_ new /path/to/your/solidus/project --database=postgresql
Note that you should replace <your_preferred_rails_version> with your preferred version of Rails. For example, if you want to use Rails version 6.1.4, the command would be:
bundle exec rails _6.1.4_ new /path/to/your/solidus/project --database=postgresql
cd /path/to/your/solidus/project
bin/rails g spree:install --user_class=Spree::User
This command will generate the necessary files and install Solidus.
To start the Solidus server, run the following command:
bundle exec rails server
This will start the server and Solidus will be accessible at http://localhost:3000.
You can log in with the username spree@example.com and password spree123.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Solidus on OpenSUSE.
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!
