Prerequisites

• A freshly installed Ubuntu Server
• Sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of the Linux Command Line Interface (CLI)

Step 1: Install the required dependencies

Before installing Tracim, we need to install the required dependencies. Run the following command:

Step 2: Create a virtual environment

We will create a virtual environment to install Tracim and its dependencies. Run the following commands:

mkdir ~/tracim
cd ~/tracim
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

Step 3: Install Tracim

We will clone the Tracim repository and install it inside the virtual environment. Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/tracim/tracim.git
cd tracim
git checkout latest-release
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
python3 setup.py develop

This will install Tracim and its dependencies.

Step 4: Create the Tracim database

We will create the Tracim database and initialize it with the necessary data. Run the following commands:

cp development.ini.example development.ini
tracim upgrade_db
tracim create_user

You will be prompted to enter the Superuser email address, password, and display name. Enter the necessary details to create the Superuser account.

Step 5: Start the Tracim server

We will start the Tracim server in development mode. Run the following command:

pserve development.ini

This will start the Tracim server. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:6543.

You will see the Tracim home page. Log in with the Superuser account you created earlier to access the Tracim dashboard.
