Coral is a free and open-source software designed for news organizations to improve their online commenting system. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Coral on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you proceed with the installation, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
The first step is to install the required dependencies to run Coral on your Ubuntu server. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev python3-pip libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev
It is recommended to create a virtual environment for Coral to avoid conflicts with other Python packages. To create a virtual environment, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 coral-env
Once the virtual environment is created, activate it by running the following command:
source coral-env/bin/activate
With the virtual environment activated, you can now install Coral by running the following command:
pip3 install coral
After Coral is installed, you need to set up its configuration file to suit your needs. Coral's configuration file is located in /etc/coral/config.yaml. Make a copy of the example configuration file at /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/coral/config.sample.yaml, and then edit it to suit your needs.
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/coral/config.sample.yaml /etc/coral/config.yaml
sudo nano /etc/coral/config.yaml
Once the configuration is set, you can start Coral by running the following command:
coral start
