In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Sup3rS3cretMes5age, which is a simple and secure messaging application, on the OpenSUSE operating system. The steps outlined here can also be used for other Linux distributions that use the OpenSUSE package manager.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

• An OpenSUSE instance (latest version recommended)
• A terminal or text editor to execute commands

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To run Sup3rS3cretMes5age, we need to install some dependencies. These dependencies are essential for the application to function correctly. In your terminal, execute the following command:

$ sudo zypper install git python3-pip python3-devel libffi-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel \
     libjpeg-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel libyaml-devel libsqlite3-devel gcc

This command will install the necessary development packages and libraries needed to run the application.

Step 2: Clone the Repository

After installing the dependencies, clone the Sup3rS3cretMes5age repository from Github using the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/algolia/sup3rS3cretMes5age.git

This command will create a local copy of the repository on your machine.

Step 3: Install Python Dependencies

Navigate to the cloned repository, and install the Python dependencies using pip:

$ cd sup3rS3cretMes5age/
$ sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

This command will install all the required Python packages and libraries necessary for the application to function correctly.

Step 4: Configure the Application

The application needs to be configured before it can be run. To do this, we need to copy the sample configuration file and create a new configuration file using the following command:

$ cp example_config.py config.py

Next, we need to modify the configuration file to suit our needs. Open the configuration file using a text editor of your choice such as nano or vim:

$ nano config.py

In this file, modify the following parameters:

• DEBUG - changes the application mode to debugging (not recommended for production use)
• SECRET_KEY - set a different secret key for the application
• DATABSE - provide database details (if not otherwise mentioned)

Step 5: Run the Application

Once you have finished configuring the application, you can start the application by running the following command:

$ python3 application.py
