Rapido is a web-based tool for creating surveys and polls. It allows you to create your own surveys from scratch or use one of its templates. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Rapido on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we can install Rapido, we need to make sure Git is installed on our Ubuntu Server. Git is a version control system that allows us to download and install Rapido from its repository on GitLab.
To download and install Git on Ubuntu Server, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
Once Git is installed, we can now clone the Rapido repository from GitLab. To do this, run the following command:
sudo git clone https://framagit.org/InfoLibre/rapido.git /opt/rapido
This will clone the Rapido repository into the /opt/rapido directory.
Rapido requires certain packages to be installed on our Ubuntu Server. To install these packages, run the following command:
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-venv
These packages will allow us to create a Python virtual environment and install Rapido's dependencies.
We will now create a Python virtual environment to install Rapido's dependencies. To do this, navigate to the /opt/rapido directory:
cd /opt/rapido
Then, create a new virtual environment:
python3 -m venv env
This will create a new virtual environment in the env directory.
Now that the virtual environment is created, we need to activate it. Run the following command to activate the virtual environment:
source env/bin/activate
You should see the name of the virtual environment appear in your terminal prompt.
With the virtual environment activated, we can now install Rapido's dependencies. To do this, run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all of the required dependencies for Rapido.
Finally, we can run Rapido by executing the following command:
python manage.py runserver
This will start Rapido on port 8000 by default. You can access Rapido in your web browser by visiting http://<server-ip>:8000.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Rapido on Ubuntu Server Latest! You can now use Rapido to create your own surveys and polls.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
