How to Install Posio on Windows 10

Posio is an open-source, lightweight and simple tool for managing project tasks, developed by abrenaut. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Posio on your Windows 10 computer.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation, make sure that you have the following software installed on your system:

Steps to Install Posio

  1. Download the Posio source code from GitHub by clicking on the "Clone or download" button, and choosing "Download ZIP".

  2. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a directory of your choice, e.g. "C:\posio". This will create a subdirectory "posio-master" within "C:\posio".

  3. Open a command prompt as administrator. You can do this by typing "cmd" in the search bar, right-clicking on "Command Prompt" and selecting "Run as administrator".

  4. Change your working directory to the "posio-master" directory by executing the following command:

cd C:\posio\posio-master
  1. Install the required Python packages for Posio by running the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Once the packages are installed, create the necessary configuration file by copying the example configuration:
copy posio\conf\posio.sample.yaml posio\conf\posio.yaml
  1. Open the configuration file "posio\conf\posio.yaml" in a text editor, and modify the settings according to your needs. You can change the database connection settings, the port on which Posio listens (default is 5000), and other parameters.

  2. Once the configuration is set, you can start the Posio server by executing the following command:

python posio\posio.py
  1. If everything went well, you should see the following message in the command prompt:
 * Running on http://localhost:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
  1. Now, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:5000/ to access the Posio web interface.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Posio on your Windows 10 computer. You can now start using it to manage your project tasks, and customize it according to your needs.
