In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to install CKAN on POP! OS Latest. CKAN is an open-source data management system that helps organizations and governments promote transparency and accountability by publishing their data online.
Before we begin, ensure that your POP! OS Latest is up-to-date.
CKAN requires a PostgreSQL database to function correctly, so the first step is to install and configure this database. To install PostgreSQL, follow the steps below:
Open the terminal.
Run the following command to update the package list:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
Open the terminal.
Configure the firewall rules to allow traffic on port 5000, which is the default port for CKAN. Run the command below to allow traffic:
sudo ufw allow 5000/tcp
sudo apt install -y ckan
paster --version
Open the terminal.
Edit the CKAN configuration file by running the command below:
sudo nano /etc/ckan/default/production.ini
sqlalchemy.url = postgresql://ckanuser:password@localhost/ckan
Replace ckanuser and password with your PostgreSQL username and password, respectively.
Save the changes.
Restart the CKAN service by running the command below:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Access CKAN on your web browser by going to http://localhost:5000.
You should see the CKAN homepage, indicating that the installation was successful.
In this tutorial, we have discussed how to install CKAN on POP! OS Latest. CKAN is a powerful data management tool that organizations and governments can use to promote transparency and accountability.
