Spree Commerce is an open-source e-commerce platform that allows you to build and manage your online store. In this tutorial, we are going to help you install Spree Commerce on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
First, we need to update the system packages to their latest versions. Type the following command:
sudo zypper update
Spree Commerce has some dependencies that we need to install before installing it. They are:
To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo zypper install -y gcc make automake gcc-c++ zlib-devel \
libsodium-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel \
postgresql94-devel postgresql94-server
By default, OpenSUSE Latest comes with Ruby installed. To check if Ruby is installed, type the following command:
ruby -v
If Ruby is installed, it will show the version number. If Ruby is not installed, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo zypper install -y ruby ruby-devel
After installing Ruby, we need to install Bundler. Bundler is a gem that manages the dependencies for your Ruby applications. To install it, run the following command:
sudo gem install bundler
Now, we are ready to install Spree Commerce. To install it, type the following command:
sudo gem install spree
This will install Spree Commerce and all its dependencies.
After installing Spree Commerce, we need to create a new Rails application. To do that, run the following command:
rails new my_store --database=postgresql
This will create a new Rails application called "my_store" using PostgreSQL as the database.
To configure Spree Commerce, we need to add it to the Gemfile of our Rails application. Open the Gemfile of your Rails application by running the following command:
nano my_store/Gemfile
Add the following line to the Gemfile:
gem 'spree', '~> 3.6'
Save and exit the Gemfile.
Next, we need to install the dependencies of our Rails application by running the following command:
cd my_store/
bundle install
Now, we are ready to setup Spree Commerce. Run the following command to setup Spree Commerce:
rails g spree:install
This will setup Spree Commerce and create the necessary database tables.
Finally, we need to launch the server for our Rails application. To launch the server, run the following command:
rails s
This will start the server and make your Spree Commerce store available at http://localhost:3000.
In this tutorial, we have guided you through the process of installing Spree Commerce on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now create your e-commerce store with Spree Commerce. Happy selling!
