This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Papermerge on a Void Linux system. Papermerge is an open source document management system that can help you organize, search, and share your digital documents.
Before you begin, you'll need to make sure that you have the following:
Papermerge requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. You can install these dependencies by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo xbps-install -S python3 python3-dev libjpeg-turbo-devel libffi-devel cairo-devel pango-devel gdk-pixbuf-devel
You can install Papermerge using pip, the Python package manager. First, you'll need to make sure that pip is installed on your system:
sudo xbps-install python3-pip
Once pip is installed, you can use it to install Papermerge:
sudo pip install Papermerge
After Papermerge is installed, you'll need to create a configuration file and start the service.
Create a configuration file by running the following command:
sudo papermerge configure
This will create a default configuration file at /etc/papermerge.cfg.
Edit the configuration file to adjust the settings as needed:
sudo nano /etc/papermerge.cfg
For example, you can set the path to where Papermerge should store its files:
[core]
data_folder = /var/lib/papermerge/data/
Start the Papermerge service:
sudo papermerge start
Papermerge should now be running and accessible at http://localhost:8000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Papermerge on your Void Linux system. From here, you can start using Papermerge to organize your digital documents.
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!
