StockazNG is a free and open-source stock portfolio management software that provides an easy-to-use web interface to manage your portfolio. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install StockazNG on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before installing StockazNG, you should ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
To get started, we need to install some required packages for StockazNG. Open your terminal and run the following command to install the packages:
sudo zypper install python3-virtualenv python3-pip python3-devel gcc git
Now that we have installed all required dependencies, we can clone the StockazNG repository. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://dev.sigpipe.me/dashie/StockazNG.git
Once the repository is cloned, we need to create a virtual environment for Python. The virtual environment will help to keep our dependencies separate from the system’s dependencies.
Change into the StockazNG directory and create a virtual environment using the following command:
cd StockazNG
python3 -m venv env
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
source env/bin/activate
The next step is to install the dependencies for the StockazNG project. Run the following command inside the project directory:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Now that we have installed all dependencies, we need to configure StockazNG. Copy the sample configuration file config.py.sample by running the following command:
cp config.py.sample config.py
Open the config.py in your preferred file editor and update the following settings:
DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:////path/to/your/database.db'
SECRET_KEY = 'your-secret-key-here'
Save and close the file.
Now that we have configured StockazNG, we can create the database tables. Run the following commands to create and initialize the database:
python3 manage.py db init
python3 manage.py db migrate
python3 manage.py db upgrade
This will create the database tables.
To run the StockazNG server, we need to start the Flask application. Run the following command to start the server:
python3 run.py
This will start the server, and you can access the StockazNG web interface by visiting http://localhost:5000/.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install StockazNG on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start using StockazNG to manage your portfolio of stocks.
