Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:

Step 1: Update system packages

Before installing Pretix, we need to update the system packages. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

To use the virtual environment, we need to activate it. You can activate the virtual environment using the following command:

source pretix/bin/activate

Once activated, you should see the name of your virtual environment in the terminal prompt.

Now, we can finally install Pretix. You can install it using the following command:

pip install pretix

This will install the latest version of Pretix along with all the required dependencies.

Step 6: Run Pretix
